I think this has been outlined before on the mailing list, but you're
right that it should be somewhere more prominent.
These are absolutely necessary for searching:
db.docdb -- document database
db.docs.index -- DocID -> URL index
db.words.index -- word index
If by the "others" you mean db.wordlist, that's used for running
htdig w/o -i, or "update" digs. Basically, when indexing it will try
to read the previous databases and go from there with the dig.

Most of them. Since this is a directory that most people customize
(templates, word lists, etc) it's hard to say what is and is not
required. There are a few that aren't truly required (e.g. the
synonym file or english.* files after generating the synonym and
endings db), but I'd suggest that it makes more sense to keep them
all.
Hope that helps,
