Context

sphinx-build doesn't copy "all" of the _static folder from the source target to the build target. This is a known issue: sphinx-doc/sphinx#1810. I have some things that generated dynamically and are put into the _static tree. My "fix" is to add a small script to the Makefile that is run after the build, to copy/tar the _static tree from the source target to the build target. This works perfectly

However, autobuild doesn't run the Sphinx Makefile, so it's can't run that script. As far as I can tell there is no way for autobuild to do this. This results in an incomplete _static folder in the build target.

Proposal

As there exists a "--pre-build COMMAND" option, why not add a "--post-build COMMAND" option that works the same, but is run AFTER an autobuild run.

This would resolve my issue, and I'm sure others would find this useful as well.
