Even easier (although it took me a while digging through 'info man' to
learn it):

$(filter %.1 %.7 %.8,$(DOCS)): scripts/texi2pod.pl

although the dependency must be listed AFTER any more specific rule
(since rules.mak has a %.1: pattern rule which expands $< to the first
dependency, and we do not want scripts/texi2pod.pl to be treated as our
first dependency).

They are there, just harder to see (hence why my v2 missed them). Of
course, doing the generic dependency is better than editing every single
man file listing.

Or not. The .txt output files depend on the .texi source, not on the
generated .1 page; only the files that used scripts/texi2pod.pl need to
depend on that, and based on rules.mk, that is only the 3 man page
categories.
