Joking aside, this is quite tempting, because Sphinx simply
does not support building into the same directory as its
source documentation files. So we need to either:
 * create an ad-hoc build directory (eg docs/built)
   where Sphinx builds the docs to if we're doing an
   in-tree build, and have the 'make install' phase pull
   the docs out of there
 * declare in-tree builds to be no longer supported at all

thanks
