Subject: [RCR] Include CONFIG::Config['rubydocdir'] in rbconfig.rb

Hi folks,

I apologise if people have read this RCR and are not interested, but
this is what I consider to be an important RCR, not a merely
convenient one, and I may have done it a disservice by burying its
mention in a previous thread.

At any rate, it has not attracted many votes, and no comments, so I'd
like to point you to http://www.rubygarden.org/article.php?sid=319 if
you are interested in registering an opinion on this.

Summary: if Ruby had a standard documentation directory, then
installers could install documentation there.  A typical Ruby
installation does contain documentation in a sensible place, but this
location is not retrievable through the normal Config['xyz']
mechanism.

Thanks,
Gavin
