why ?
in my opinion, the doc/ is pretty much fixed (after packaging).

additional libraries and externals are normally installed into extra/ 
(or wherever additional "path"s point to)
since p>=0.37 help can be installed besides them and will still get found.

these are the real problematic (and interesting) objects to auto-index. 
(i mean, for the fixed objects in doc/, we can build an offline (this 
is: packaging-time) index.
