How can I stop scaladoc from running when executing 'dist' on a Play project (currently using Play 2.3.0)? As an example:
$ git clone --branch play-2.3.0 git@github.com:guardian/gu-who.git
$ cd gu-who
$ sbt clean dist
[info] Loading project definition from /tmp/gu-who/project
[info] Set current project to gu-who (in build file:/tmp/gu-who/)

The 'scaladoc' portion of that process takes about 12 of those 20 seconds. I don't want to run scaladoc at all (anyone doing work on this non-library project will be looking at the actual source code).
For newer versions of Play (I'm currently using 2.8.1), you'll have to add these settings to the project in sbt (or to every subproject):
Compile / doc / sources := Nil
Compile / packageDoc / publishArtifact := false
(This is the new syntax from sbt 1.)
