I’m all for simpler quicker builds.  I think the documentation source 
generation is a cause of a lot of problems.  Should the website get fixed, I 
have some more proposals that could considerably reduce the need for generating 
index tables of documentation.

My experience is that the automated website build already does link checking.  
I would think that’s enough.  It’s easy enough to run locally as well.

Looking further into the current state of the website, Guillaumes commit 
be547c1d177aaec8c8520ac1970ef9b055b1deb7 appears to have undone a substantial 
portion of the work I did in the components component.  Is this carelessness or 
a secret vote against my changes?
