make everything target

Andrew Dunstan <andrew@dunslane.net> — 2010-01-27T15:41:16Z

I'd like to have an "everything" target that would build "all + html + 
contrib".

And maybe an "installcheck-everything" target that would run 
installcheck for src, pl and contrib.

Thoughts?

cheers

These proposals sound reasonable to me too, but is "everything" an
appropriate target name, or is there some other/better convention?

I assume we don't want to mess with the default behavior (I don't
want to, anyway).

I'm not invested in the name. Suggestions welcome.

Me either, although it's a bit of a pity history has stuck us with the 
default behaviour.

"make world" sounds reasonable and I've remember seeing it elsewhere.

Should the new targets be added to Makefile too?

One more thing: do we want the new targets "world" and "install-world" 
documented, or just left for developers?

Document them.  How else would new developers learn about them?
