[EMBOSS] CBSTOOLS not installing help files, don't work with emboss explorer

For some reason or other the CBSTOOLS package built its html and txt
help files, but didn't install them on "make install".  

To work around this, they were copied manually to the proper
directories, then

 tfm eyinoyang

worked, but the help links in emboss explorer still didn't pick them up.
 Found where those were supposed to go eventually by poking around in
/usr/local/share/EMBOSS/doc/html/embassy.

Seems like a glitch in the CBSTOOLS install, but no errors or warnings
were emitted.

Is something supposed to generate 

  /usr/local/share/EMBOSS/doc/html/embassy/index.html

automatically, or must that be hand edited when the embassy packages change?

There are no directions inside the embassy/CBSTOOLS directory for
installing the actual programs that these are wrappers for.  They can
be downloaded one at a time from here:

  http://www.cbs.dtu.dk/services/

is there a way to get the lot of them all at once?

Thanks,
