Well, I'm the primary user, and I don't build lazarus (or lazbuild) before
building the docs (I do it remotely on a server where there is always a
clean lazarus svn).

I've had a look at the lpr Felipe pointed at, since the shell scripts
already ate up way to much time, and that probably will do to.
