This fixes #153.

Unfortunately, CMake does not support custom code or conditionals in the install target. I therefore implemented this as an extension to the help extraction system itself.

@jougs Thanks for fixing this. Could you add a line to the INSTALL file documenting this possibility and have a look at the one questions I put into the code?

Can I still use -j N with this?

The short answer is yes.

The slightly longer answer is that my changes do not alter the behavior of your call to make for any target but install-nodoc. And for install -j N did not have an effect anyway as the installation is always performed serially in order to avoid problems with concurrent writes.

@jougs I can use the install-nodoc target, but it still installs the help.

@jougs I just sent you a PR adding a required "optional" flag. With this, things work in a way: as long as one only ever calls make with the install-nodoc, help will not get installed. If invoking a "naked" make, doc/help will be populated and then installed in all subsequent make invocations, even for target install-nodoc.

I wonder if a complete solution of this problem would require introduction of proper build and install configurations, such as deploy/develop/debug.

This makes the install-nodoc target work by first deleting the help directory,
creating help for the install target, install the help directory if it was
created, and generating the help index for the installed help directory if that
exists.

@heplesser: I've come up with a reasonably stable solution in my recent commits. Can you please test again? Thanks!

@jougs Great, thanks! I works! I just have two little details, see comments in the code.

Please add a comment explaining why just returning is fine instead of raising an error. In the future, we may not remember the logic behind the return here.
