Alright, let's try that again.
make -f posix.mak apidocs-serve LATEST=2.070.2

How do I make it use ../dmd and ../phobos? I've looked at
CONTRIBUTING.md and the Wiki and I don't see this explained
anywhere.
All I want to do is test DDox with local dlang.org changes and
local Phobos changes.
What is it downloading?
It needs to get the stable versions of dmd/phobos to build the
stable documentation. It places those in
../{dmd,phobos,druntime}-$LATEST.
It also needs to have a host D compiler to build DMD. I don't
remember what the default is, but IIRC you can set either
HOST_DMD to the full path to a working DMD binary, or
AUTO_BOOTSTRAP=1 to have it download one.
(BTW, Digger can build dlang.org if you specify --with=website,
but it will also download stuff you may already have.)
