I think we could do something similar for the ports installing their
own html documentation. The html documentation is currently installed
in more or less random locations and is not always apparent. What
about forcing the ports to install their html files in
/usr/local/share/html/PACKAGENAME/* and use a small utility to
maintain /usr/local/share/html/INDEX.html?
