Hello Nicolas,

:-)

What I would do in a =E2=80=98snippet=E2=80=99 or the origin is:

  1. rm -rf doc

  2. Remove =E2=80=9Cdoc=E2=80=9D from the =E2=80=98SUBDIRS=E2=80=99 variab=
le of the top-level
     Makefile.in.

That way you won=E2=80=99t need to regenerate the build files.

Does that make sense or am I too naive?

(Besides we should get in touch with the folks at Grenoble University to
see if they would agree to liberating the docs.  Perhaps Debian people
already attempted?)

HTH!
