[Dune] [Dune-Commit] dune-common r5021 - in trunk/doc: . devel doxygen

[Andreas Dedner]

Why does the distribution have to include the documentation?
The problem occurs in the following real world application:
compile dune on a parallel machine like in Karlsruhe.
The easiest way is to run a make dist in your local dune-???
on your local computer, transfer the tar balls to the parallel
machine, and run dune-control.
In this case one does not need or want to have any documentation
included!
The fewer dependencies on not really essential packages
there are the better IMHO.
