[wtp-releng] WTP Help build


Last week on the PMC call it was decided to separate the WTP help build from the regular build. This separation has a couple benefits.

1. It decouples the help doc schedule from the regular schedule. Help docs necessarily have to be finished later in the cycle. This will allow the help docs to be updated without compromising the WTP build.

2. A separate help build will allow the WTP to easily provide an update to the WTP help after releases including 0.7.

In order to separate the WTP help build the doc maps will need to be removed from the build and a separate build process will need to be setup based on these maps. All of the WTP help doc plugins are located in the two maps jst-doc.map and wst-doc.map.

Naci - Please remove these maps from the main WTP build. Is removing them as easy as deleting them?

We will need to discuss the best way to setup a separate WTP help build. With the separation of releng and releng.builder it may be as easy as creating a releng.help folder that contains the maps and adding a help-doc target to releng.builder that simply runs the regular build with no testing.
