>Description:
When building mutt (from /usr/ports/mail/mutt), the build failes:

sgmlfmt -f latin1 manual.sgml
sgmlfmt: not found
*** Error code 1

Stop.
*** Error code 1

Stop.
*** Error code 1

Stop.
*** Error code 1

Stop.
*** Error code 1

Stop.

>How-To-Repeat:
Attempt to install mutt on a machine that doesn't have sgmlfmt (like
a fresh 2.2.5-RELEASE box).
>Fix:
Stop building the docs.  No one reads them anyway.  You could make mutt depend on sgmlfmt, but that's a large program for a useless 'feature' anyway.
