The doc-shooter is a small utility used to create screenshots of widgets for the GIMP API reference manuals. This utility is X11 specific, so it should only be built when GIMP is being compiled for the X11 GDK backend. Taking the screenshots is not part of the docs build. Instead, the images are created, and then copied by hand into devel-docs/libgimpwidgets/images. Ideally, the images should be taken once a release, and all images should be updated at the same time. A simple theme should be used to take the screenshots. The GTK+ docs team came up with the idea for this utility as well as some of the code to implement it.
