What seems to make the most sense to me is to have a separate work
directory for the buildfarm script to run, without setting up a whole
buildfarm animal.  That separate dir would build only the devel docs,
triggered only by changes in doc/src, and would not do anything else.
Thus we could leave guaibasaurus alone to do dist building.
