A hopefully useful patch to remove the comparison

Hi there,

I'm trying to install devel/subversion-book but it fails while complaining =
that
the DOCS option is turned off globally and therefor it wouldn't make sense =
to
install the package:

      make: stopped in /usr/ports/devel/subversion-book=20=20=20=20=20=20


At first I assumed it referred to the DOCS option in devel/subversion and I
really failed to understand the logic behind this; why would it matter if I=
 had
build Subversion with documentation?

But looking into this matter a bit deeper seems to indicate that the Makefi=
le
is actually checking for a non-existing port option:

peter@zefiris:/usr/ports/devel/subversion-book $ grep -A3 -i mdoc Makefile=
=20=20=20=20=20
 .if !${PORT_OPTIONS:MDOCS}=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=
=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=
=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20
  IGNORE=3D it does not make sense to install dedicated documentation if DO=
CS are

... therefor I think the whole comparison should be removed and that the po=
rt
should be able to build no matter what port option is or isn't turned on or
off. I tried to make a patch using diff and I hope this is useful (I'll be
honest: I didn't try to see if it worked).
