fine, so what's the issue here?

it doesn't. you can of course still pass it on the command line.
autogen.sh used to automatically add --enable-gtk-doc to
the configure command line, to override the "no" default in configure.in.
i removed that argument, which is why i recommended exporting
AUTOGEN_CONFIGURE_ARGS=--enable-gtk-doc for _automatic_ doc builds.

you can point out?
