Subject: Re: having problems fiddling with rake

FYI, my current (working) solution looks like this:

namespace :doc do

  # On occasion, we want to grovel over another app's file tree, but
  # put the results in our own DOC directory.  In order to make this
  # happen, we do the following:
  #
  #   % setenv README_FOR_APP ...
  #   Make sure that $RDOC_SRC_DIR/doc/README_FOR_APP exists.
  #   In the following code, do some chdir magic.

  rdoc_src_dir =  ENV['RDOC_SRC_DIR']
  if (rdoc_src_dir)
    save_wd =  getwd
    chdir(rdoc_src_dir)
  else
    save_wd =  '.'
  end
...
    rdoc.rdoc_dir = "#{save_wd}/doc/api"
...
