IIRC, there were problems using $PYTHONPATH in this instance, hardcoded path or some such. Please have somebody verify with an /opt/gnome build before commit. I wish I had time to complete the GNOME_CONFIG changes...it simplified a lot WRT /opt/gnome builds vs. /usr builds...more specifically WRT the libexec dir, but this particular instance was accounted for via symlink as suggested above. The argument for this approach is simple, if the /opt/gnome directory is removed/moved, no problem.

Properly setting PYTHONPATH after installing gnome-doc-utils works as expected.

So bottom line is we can close this ticket after the Gnome Doc Utils instructions are updated to mention about PYTHONPATH if $GNOME_PREFIX is not /usr.

Closing this ticket because there are now instructions in the GNOME Pre-Installation instructions to set PYTHONPATH.
Instead of a symlink, I believe using PYTHONPATH is the preferred method.
