I wanted to follow up and this and ask if there is *any* documentation
about how to build the (HTML) documentation for a particular version
of the FFmpeg libraries. It would also be helpful if there were any
pointers to how the nightly documentation is built exactly ([2] in the
message above). Thank you.
