Huh.  I think I may have found part of the problem, but I'm still not
sure of the solution.

When building from a tarball, docs/index.html exists alongside
docs/index.html.in.  But when running ./autobuild.sh from a fresh git
clone, docs/index.html has not been generated yet.  In that case, the
file gets generated into builddir rather than srcdir, which breaks all
sorts of other assumptions.

Let's not push anything until after the 0.8.8 release, when we can get
better resolution on what's (not) going on here.
