Correct way out is to talk with upstream (yes, in every violating case) to
provide pregen'ed manpages and/or documentaion in the release tarball (or
separate file alongside).

Lots of people still build things from ports, either because they like it
this way, or they're not happy with our official binary packages (wrong
OPTIONS selection for them).  We should try to make their lives easier.

I totally hate man/docs building.  It has nothing do with my CPU; those bits
most likely will be the same everywhere.  Why not prebuild it then?
