[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #47820] Uncomprehesive behaviors for functions that are not recognized in configure

[John W. Eaton]

Follow-up Comment #8, bug #47820 (project octave):

Please do NOT make the documentation conditional on the configuration
options.

When building from a tarball release, we want to avoid building the
documentation unless there is an actual change to the source files.  Having
the contents of the documentation depend on configuration options will likely
break that.

Instead, you can make a note that a function (or group of functions) is (are)
may not be available if the underlying OS does not support the functionality.
