I guess it's generally safest to just plonk it in './rdoc', which you
must be able to access since you (presumably) unpacked the source code
right where you are anyway.

Once it's there, you can take the risk with other directories.

Good points, though.  RDoc should definitely check its output
directory as early as possible.
