@robertkowalski I think the best way to do this is create a new addon
called documentation (Don't forget to add to settings.json). Then on
`module.initialise` do a ajax request to check what version this Couchdb
instance is as well as if docs are available. Then set the header link for docs
with the appropriate link.
We could also be over thinking this. 99% of the time people will have
documents installed locally anyway so it should be fine. If a user is able to
build couch from source without docs it means they are an advanced user and
probably know that docs are available online and where to find them.
So you can decide whether you want to implement this check or if we just go
with the assumption that local docs are available.
