I got the impression that generate.py was not run that often because
it generates docstrings.i which take quite a long time with the old
approach using Doxygen xml files. (with the docstrings module it will
be fast). If we don't generate the docstrings.i file the documentation
will be wrong so even if we split that part of the generate.py file,
we still need to run some other script subsequently.
