(I removed GENERAL, and added DOCS to the distribution of this thread)

Well I like {prefix}/doc given that's how dblink is already set up ;-)

Questions:
   - Do we want a naming convention for the files in
     {prefix}/doc?
   - Do we pre-create {prefix}/doc for every contrib
     directory in advance?

I think the answers are no, and yes, but I don't feel strongly about either.
