I agree - I've found that any generated items in git make maintenance
disastrously messy.  

But we also need to ensure that the setup of the tools, Quickbook, Autoindex and
Inspect are all automatically built to a 'standard' location, and in the users
path, so that the

./b2 docs works slickly for everyone.

It will of course take quite a long time - hours ? - to regenerate all the docs
:-(
