I don't mind cleaning up the doc/ subtree a bit. But note that it is
generally sanest when a Makefile builds files in the current directory using
files in the current directory. So please don't create a setup where make in
doc/src/sgml/ creates files in doc/ or an unrelated subdirectory of doc/. In
other words, if you prefer the above setup, you need to move the build logic
to doc/Makefile.
Ultimately, the sanest way would be to remove doc/src/ and doc/src/sgml/ and
put everything directly under doc/. But that would IMO require a VCS that can
tolerate that kind of move.
