Unless I'm reading the sources completely wrong (there's an excellent chance that I am), these documents are the only thing which require that we have groff as a buildtool in a make world, and groff is the only thing which requires that we have a C++ compiler available in buildtools... Since these documents are (1) mostly out of date, and (2) never change, should we be building them with the world at all. Would it not be better to convert what is still relevant too docbook and add it to the doc tree? Or, if we want to keep them for historical interest, convert them all. Converting them to docbook would be a good introduction to docbook for budding doc committers...
