It's silly to require all the time-consuming cmake configuration for
the source code, if all you want to do is to build the documentation.
My own website update script will like this optimisation, and so will
Buildscr.
In order to make doc/CMakeLists.txt work standalone, I had to add a
'project' header (citing no languages, so that cmake won't even bother
looking for a C compiler); include FindGit, which cmake/setup.cmake
now won't be doing for it; change all references to CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR
to CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR/.. (since now the former will be defined
differently in a nested or standalone doc build); and spot whether
we're nested or not in order to conditionalise things designed to
interoperate with the parent CMakeLists.
