Yep. I'm thinking that the python-docs target will
* Check to see if SAGE_SPKG_INSTALL_DOCS=yes, and if so:
* set the SAGE_SPKG_PYTHON_BUILD=no variable and then reinstall the
python spkg (which will then just build the docs, but not python).
The user won't ever have to deal with that environment variable---it's all
behind the scenes.
