The problem isn't monodoc; the problem is mdoc-assemble, because the .tree &
zip files generated are empty.

The problem isn't mdoc-assemble; the problem is file references.  Consider
mcs/docs/mono-tools.config:

  <manpage name="al(1)"                 page="../../mono/man/al.1" />

This works in a traditional svn checkout, because mono & mcs are sibling
directories, but this fails in a .tar.gz setup in which mcs is a child of mono,
as ../../mono/man/al.1 is suddenly an invalid file reference.

Consequently mdoc-assemble doesn't see any files to actually assemble, and
doesn't do anything (which was originally by-design, so that we could reference
files that might not exist w/o breaking something...).

So the real solution isn't to fix monodoc.dll, the real solution is to fixup
mono-tools{.tree,.zip} and mono-file-formats{.tree,.zip} so that they have
valid contents (and -- bonus! -- these will actually be *usable*).
