S'not that simple.  You also need doc/share/* checked out somewhere, and
doc/<lang>/share/* as well.

My general feeling is that if people want to build the docs from source
then they should track the CVS tree.  If they just want to install
the documentation then use the tarballs or the packages from the FTP
site.

As ever, I'm prepared to be convinced otherwise.
