Details:

I consider it a bug that GNUstep Make ignores the @setfilename Texinfo command
and attempts (and fails) to build/clean/install generated files with the same
output name as the .texi.  Automake has coped with this since day one, if I'm
not mistaken.  There are various valid scenarios when @setfilename is used and
set to a different file than the .texi, and IMO any sane build system should
obey.

The attached patch takes care of this.  Tested with Base, Gui, Back, Gorm and
DBusKit, with Make configured with "debian" layout.  All main targets
(all/clean/install/uninstall) work properly for me.
