That can be fixed. We can easily run configure with --disable-subdir-config,
generate the docs, then clean up again.

Personally, I'd rather see the doc source be HTML. We can easily ship those,
and they are directly usable on the web site. Many more people know how to
edit and deal with HTML than (La)TeX. (count me as one)

Post-M3, all this stuff could be rejiggered.
