What are the issues with the compile time? This topic came up previously in 
discussions which determined that documentation will nolonger be generated by 
default due to build time.

I can't see the point for doing so. I don't care if its takes me 15 minutes or 
30 minutes to compile all GNU Radio.

Compilation time saved will now be spend waiting for the download?
