I agree. But use your imagination.
The default is no doc. You have to turn on --enable-doc to get it. Suppose
I have done extensive testing with the installed code but forgot to turn on
--enable-doc. Why should I re-install the same old code and trigger the
testing cycle again?
Except for the documentation, our stuff is all-or-nothing. I might be happy
if the install step had a dry-run option so I could pick the parts I wanted.
That's error prone.
It might be possible to do what I want by setting the appropriate directories
- install the binaries in a junk directory. Again, error prone.
