In out-of-tree builds gtk-doc's setup-build target copies all the content from $srcdir to $builddir. However, if some of this content is regenerated at configure time this can happen: 1) configure writes new build/version.xml 2) make compile copies content, including the tarball's src/version.xml to build/version.xml, and generates gtk-doc. 3) make install notices build/version.xml is older than configure.status, so regenerates gtk-doc. gtk-doc generation is a slow process at the best of times, so doing it twice isn't good. Solve this by changing cp --force to cp --no-clobber, so setup-build only copies files which don't already exist.
