Rewriting dillema, after answers: (re)buildability versus maintenance
cost. (Re)buildability wins :). If in doubt, compile build-time
docs. Rebuildability is important per se, since is condition of better
softwares. So, build-time doc compiles is better option (generally).

I'm a newbie and I'm learning. Fix me if I am wrong about something,
please.

Thanks all.
