The problem only occurs if you try to install the documentation in a 
non-default directory.  The following are the relevant parts of 
doc/Makefile.am:

    DOCDIR = doc/freetds-$(VERSION)
    TARGET_DOCDIR = $(DESTDIR)$(datadir)/$(DOCDIR)

    nobase_data_DATA    = $(DOCDIR)/reference/index.html \
                          $(DOCDIR)/userguide/index.htm

"nobase_data_DATA" is the wrong variable to use here because those files 
are ultimately installed (along with the rest of the documentation) by 
the custom "install-data-local" target in doc/Makefile.am.  Use 
"noinst_DATA" instead so that the files aren't installed by any standard 
target.  I've tested this change to work using:

    make install TARGET_DOCDIR=/usr/local/share/doc/freetds

With this change, I no longer get the following additional files:

    /usr/local/share/doc/freetds-0.82/reference/index.html
    /usr/local/share/doc/freetds-0.82/userguide/index.htm

        Cheers,
