The doc use flag is supposed to be used to prevent installation of documentation that requires tools which are not normally on user's systems to generate, or api documentation. However, I found that none of the documentation for this tool is installed without the doc use flag, and since the documentation is just in text files, this is not correct. I am attaching a patch to fix this issue. Thanks, William
