Oops. I had an uncommitted fix for that in my setup.py...

By default, setup.py should not install the doc files at all - what
would be the standard way to have the installed there? Again, it was a
checkin error that it is installed - only that the doc2xmldoc=1 line
should *not* have been committed :-(

The intent here is that the doc files go into the RPM as %doc, are
installed as xmldoc on Windows, and are not touched otherwise.
