Shuttling generated docs through subversion seems unnecessary. Any

I discussed this with #asfinfra earlier today. They won't run our build
system on their server. Their system is happy to copy a generated file
over when we check it in, but not to build the system itself.
Here's an excerpt from our conversation:
<jrobie> i.e., instead of checking in the artifacts, i check in a
makefile or ant file that builds the artifacts, it has to run on my
system, you run it on the client and then copy the artifacts over?
<joes4> no
<joes4> you're not running arbitrary programs on our frontline webserver
<joes4> we don't even allow cgi
<joes4> telling me you won't blame me for your mistakes doesn't help
<jrobie> so installing, say, xslt, docbook, fop, doxygen, epydoc ...
that's not going to happen
<joes4> the public will always blame the asf
You can try to convince Joe ;->
