Giving it a second thought, I think this isn't a good idea because if I
split the documentation into a separate package that would mean that I
would need to have mysql-workbench sources also in the documentation
package to be able to build it. And looking more closely at the Fedora
patch, they remove the documentation but patch the program to open the
online version of the documentation. IMO, if we can't include the doc in
the same mysql-workbench package then the online approach is better.
