Ok, overriding DDOC when invoking make is working and I've got the 64 bit build
building the docs and uploading them.  I've linked the output to the test
results page right there at the top:

    http://d.puremagic.com/test-results/

It's not ideal, but it's as much effort as I feel like investing in the docs
building right now.  I'll be happy to change the tester scripts should someone
change the make files to be less odd.

Also, I'm only running it on one of the 3 builds right now.  I can expand that
to the rest, if there's value in it.  The win32 one is likely the most value
since it's the most 'real' from the sounds of it.

Later,
Brad
