Comment(by leif):
Hmmm, one problem I see is that a couple of spkgs would need a
(re)`configure` before e.g. `make install-docs` etc. would work.
Also, many packages provide [alternate] documentation in various formats
(man pages, texinfo files, HTML, dvi / PDF etc.), some of which require
tools (i.e., prerequisites either provided by the system or Sage), and
some even some small build process just to prepare the sources for other
tools. So it isn't always clear ''what'' would be installed [in addition].
Re-unpacking and re-configuring an spkg just to install docs is IMHO also
a bit odd, just like keeping the build directories until eventually some
tools are available after the normal build has finished.
The easiest way would be to simply include some ''pre-built'' versions of
documentation requiring external tools, and just copy / install them if
`SAGE_SPKG_INSTALL_DOCS=yes` or an spkg's `spkg-install-docs` is run. This
could at least in some cases increase an spkg's size significantly though.
