I've not dig that information but it seems to me this is the way it is
because gtk-doc configure switch itself acts like this.

Now if ones digs the archive of this mailing list, I think there was
some talk about renaming the flag for compilation vs. installation only
in order to be more consistent with global use flag meaning but I can't
remember the outcome.

Besides if one really doesn't want to install _any_ gtk-doc there is
still the INSTALL_MASK option (I know it's for l33t users reading mans,
but...).
