There is generally no reason to have gtk-doc when building
from tarballs except that the packages default to using it when
it is found.
Making a new gtk-doc release is just a few minutes, so, it may be
worth doing it just because it is easy, but people will be happier if
they configure with --disable-gtk-doc in general.
(Also, there is a good chance that even if you have the right gtk-doc,
you don't have a functioning SGML setup, and getting that fixed
is often a really hard and complicated job, and one we really
probably would rather not have to help people testing gnome-2 with.)
