This makes "make doc" work even if you made "sudo make doc" previously by mistake. Apparently an oversight: the other targets did this already.

I think "rm" makes sense; the call to xmlto in this Makefile has been this way from day one, it seems ;-). The build rule for this target does not use "generate to temporary $@+ and after that is successful mv to the final $@" pattern, so we do not have to remove $@+ in this target, though. Thanks.
