Subject: [PATCH RFC 00/13] Collect documention-related tools under tools/doc
Our documentation-related tools are spread out over various directories;
several are buried in the scripts/ dumping ground. That makes them harder
to discover and harder to maintain.
Recently, the idea of creating a dedicated directory for documentation tools
came up; I decided to see what it would look like. This series creates a
new directory, tools/doc, and moves various utilities there, hopefully
fixing up all of the relevant references in the process.
At the end, rather than move the old, Perl kernel-doc, I simply removed it.
The big elephant lurking in this small room is the home for Python modules;
I left them under scripts/lib, but that is an even less appropriate place
than it was before. I would propose either tools/python or lib/python;
thoughts on that matter welcome.
