here's an idea: why not create e.g. a variable to decide when
:shell-command is executed? Moving the execution to right after cloning
the repository, instead of before building documentation, would enable
one to easily emulate :files directives, as well as other keywords that
need to be executed before things actually get built.

Alternatively one could have a second :shell-command like keyword.
