I did install the godi-ocaml-manual, but this does not keep up with API changes so it would be better to have ocamldoc generated documentation.
Also this does not resolve the issue for other libraries. A quick look through the god/doc directory and I find that none of the following have API documentation installed: bin-prot, camomile, cryptgps, json-wheel, ocamlscript, ounit, sexlib, type-conv. It seems so easy to just run ocamldoc during installation, but I guess it is on the package managers to do so.
