I did some moving of such files from Documentation to tool in a git
tree some time ago, but to make it actually all build sanely --
especially with separate objdirs and/or cross compilation -- would
require major Makefile surgery first.

Current perf is a big pita for separate objdirs and cross compilation
already and it would be probably not a good idea to make it worse for
now.
