Yes, it's a hack to make the website display something different from
what ddoc would actually generate from the real code.

There are a few cases where this is needed, e.g., to generate docs for
Windows-specific modules, since the website script is run on Posix and
the Windows APIs would not be compiled at all, leading to empty docs.
