+I do understand. api docs are for developers, other docs additionally
+for rest of the end users
+
+Also, in some of my systems building api docs prints out quite a bit of
+noise (old doxygen) and the output is just pile of crap (fortunately i
+don't install notmuch in any of my systems where I use it... ok I do it
+in one, but into a tree inside my home dir...)
