+ # Encapsulate all the strangeness to do with finding out
+ # where to find RDoc files
+ #
+ # We basically deal with three directories:
+ #
+ # 1. The 'system' documentation directory, which holds
+ # the documentation distributed with Ruby, and which
+ # is managed by the Ruby install process
+ # 2. The 'site' directory, which contains site-wide
+ # documentation added locally.
+ # 3. The 'user' documentation directory, stored under the
+ # user's own home directory.
+ #
+ # There's contention about all this, but for now:
+ #
+ # system:: $prefix/lib/ruby/<version>/doc/rdoc
+ # site:: $prefix/lib/ruby/site_dir/<version>/doc/rdoc
+ # user:: ~/.rdoc
