I've copied this to -doc (from -stable) along with a patch to the top-level
Makefile. I know that a little RTFM'ing will result in somebody finding out
about the docproj meta-port, but wouldn't it be a good idea to include this in
the top-level Makefile? That way, if somebody was RTFM'ing around in the doc
sources and Makefiles themselves, they might find this with less
effort. Please consider commiting this patch (or a modified-to-your-taste
version) to the top-level Makefile in /usr/doc:

Man, I wish I knew about that before trying to compile the docs and
adding one piece of ports at a time... ;-)

Thanks for the note!  I wish that were in a README in the doc
sources...
