Basically I think it is not required for upcomming 0.87 release to build 
doc on Windows and on Linux. I did't look into doc gen in detail but if 
we keep ndoc html pages this could be used for mono docs too.

As a first solution could be to drop building doc on linux.

Besides of this to get more information out of documentor you can use 
OnDocBuildingStep(buildStepProgress, "some other info"); within 
NAntDocumenter.cs to display more information. You also might try to use 
<ndoc verbose="true"> for doc tasks in nant.build file.
