Well, lablgtk2 is quite a special case. There are only docs for libgtk2,
and one has to understand how these docs can be applied to lablgtk2 in
order to be useful. This is nothing we can change as distributors.

Is this really such a burden? I mean current CPUs are quite fast, and
even with those of the previous generation the builds do not take that
long (and can run unsupervised). Actually, I still do a lot of GODI work
on a 4 years old laptop with 1.6 GHz CPU, and it is not that bad.

We don't have that many GODI packagers, and have to use our resources
carefully. Not every improvement is worth to be implemented.
