To add a documentation builder for the buildbot infrastructure here
are the basic steps.

0. Check with Dmitri Gribenko (CC'ed) that he is happy to host another
builder for the libcxx documentation on his build slave. If not you
will have to find another buildbot slave to use when you add an entry
to ``_get_documentation_builders()`` in step 3.

1. Add support for building the docs in the CMake build for libcxx.
Use the ``add_sphinx_target()`` function [1]. This is necessary
because the buildbot relies on the CMake generated targets for
building the documentation.

2. Teach getSphinxDocsBuildFactory() in Zorg [2] to also checkout
libcxx and build the documentation. This should be controlled by
boolean argument(s) to the function which should be false by default.

3. Finally add a builder by adding an entry to
``_get_documentation_builders()`` [3] that uses your modifications in
``getSphinxDocsBuildFactory()``.

4. Ask Galina to restart the buildbot master

[2] https://github.com/llvm-mirror/zorg/blob/master/zorg/buildbot/builders/SphinxDocsBuilder.py
[3] https://github.com/llvm-mirror/zorg/blob/master/buildbot/osuosl/master/config/builders.py#L1083

Hope that helps.

Thanks,
Dan.
