-1 - this doesn't help folks contribute patches to docs.
We were already removing the .xml$ files, the only change is that now we
don't distribute the orphaned .xml.meta$ and .xml.[language-code]$.
Yes, but was that a good idea?
Does it make sense to have, essentially, a binary docs distribution as
part of our source tarball?
Just go all the way and rm -rf docs/manual when building. We've been
talking about it for a while. People are much better off if they either
use the online docs or grab a set of docs that are appropriate to their
needs (windows help, single-language tarball, etc). The docs aren't
viewable in a default install in 2.1 anyway.
