----

When gtkdocize is not installed and specifying "--disable-gtk-doc" to
autogen.sh, autogen.sh fails with the suggestion to install gtk-doc.  However,
it does not make sense for autogen.sh to fail this early if the user specifies
"--disable-gtk-doc".  autogen.sh should honor the "--disable-gtk-doc" option
and not fail.  Not all linux distro flavors have the gtk-doc package.

./autogen.sh --disable-gtk-doc
which: no gtkdocize in ...
*** No GTK-Doc found, please install it ***
