There is an idea that we have started experimenting with, going even
further than skipping html docs compilation.

- delete the entire doc/ folder, from every library.
- remove the test/ folder from each library.
- remove the example/ folder from each library.

In other words, only important C++ "source" code such as include/ and src/
would remain.

Technical feedback is welcome. Do you believe this is untenable or would
cause problems for users?

Deleting the above mentioned directories breaks compilation in certain
cases. It must be investigated further.
