Edit release-process/scripts/mk_exim_release.pl and add a command-line
option to avoid building to documentation, provide it back to us as a
patch?
Aside from building the docs, the release is really just moving a few
files into one place and making a tar file from the results.
Note: if you're not building the 4.80 release, but something more
recent, you'll need to lay down a local git tag to label what you want.
I'm not sure how well tags named something other than a normal
release/RC version string will be taken -- review the Perl to find out
if you care. If you are building "almost 4.80", please consider the
"tls_fix" branch currently in the main repo, which adds one commit.
