The docs are not included to limit the size of the dmg (which is already 
considerable).

I'm not sure if the docs will be built by default when you compile gnucash 
yourself, but there will certainly be an option in the build configuration 
scripts that will allow you to build the docs. For more information on 
building GnuCash on OSX/Quartz yourself, see
