So it will be good to add in the docs https://docs.xfce.org/xfce/building that
gtk-doc is a necessary dependency of the xfce4-dev-tools.

And improvement to make gtk-doc optional could be great in cases like Crux, the
distro for wich I'm building the package, 'cause Crux remove all the installed
docs in benefit of man pages or web searches.

But with this clarified I will add the dependency to the package for Crux.

Thanks a lot.
