Actually, it is kinda important in an installation, but was removed
because it's not created automatically by the new help system. Feel up
to tweaking the makefile so it touches the file then chmod's it? We
only really need to install an empty file so we can set the
permissions on it (which actually probably shouldn't be 0666) - the
help browser will store it's cache data in there when run. Better yet,
we should probably figure out how to make it put it in /tmp, so we
don't need to mess around with permissions at all...
