Arjan, Judd, what should we do with this one? rm -rf /{usr,opt/gnome}/share/gtk-doc from PKGBUILD or put it in makepkg?

The gtk-doc things are API docs that are mainly used by developers. The common user doesn't use them and the API docs don't build on tons of packages (the included gtk-doc shit is old stuff that was pregenerated when the upstream maintainer rolled a release and could be very old documentation because it doesn't build always)

Also, the huge KDE/QT stuff that uses make apidox or whatever that says worries me: Do we need the API DOCs, or could we split it in a -doc package?

I think makepkg could be responsible for removing docs in known areas. I'll add gtk-doc removal for the next version.

Judd, what's the state on this bug? We had several makepkg releases now, but none has gtk-doc removal. Instead, we start rm -rf'ing those dirs ourselves at this moment.

Added in CVS. Will appear in 2.9.7-final, methinks.
