You can have the documenation in subversion and serve it directly from
there. You can set the svn:mime-type property on the html files to "text/html"
and they will be served properly to the browser. For an example see
http://svn.openstreetmap.org/applications/utils/maplint/html/index.html .

I am not sure its a good idea performance wise, though.
