I suspect the Makefile is mainly for Till, etc. Using a copy of the CVS 
source of pgf, I got things to compile by moving pgfmanual.tex and the 
config file into the same place as all the .tex sources, doing a bit of 
hand editing and then letting things run. (I'm on Windows anyway, so the 
Makefile is no use here!)
