We could do several things:

 o Support GNOME2_PATH and/or GTK_DOC_PATH as you suggested.
 o Run pkg-config in gtkdoc-fixref to find basic libs like GLib & GTK+.


I think checking GNOME2_PATH and running pkg-config to find GLib should
be enough. (And these will only be used if all else fails.)

OK?
