If it's of any use to you I have made some adjustments to the buildfarm
code which would let you do *just* the docs build (and dist make if you
want). It would still pull from git, and only do anything if there's a
(relevant) change. So using that to set up a machine that would run
every few minutes might work. Of course, building the docs can itself be
fairly compute intensive, so you still might not want to run every few
minutes if that's a limiting factor.
