--disable-gtk-doc works just fine (and is the default too)

You have to have it installed though, since it provides the m4 macro
used in configure to add that option. This is the way it's done in every
other GNOME package actually, afaik. I don't know how to only
conditionally use a macro in configure.in only if it exists.

Intltool older than 0.30 had a bug that made it not work for us. I don't
see the problem though since XML::Parser is just a perl module to
install for building. (If XML support can be disabled in intltool,
that'd be fine since we don't use that feature.)

Great! It would be nice to try it out, especially with the Windows theme
engine for GTK+ :)

I don't think it's necessary yet. The drill is usually to send patches
for a while and then eventually apply for an account.
