When some project includes a contrib/ directory with its source where  
should those canonically be installed?

     /usr/local/share/$PORT

or

    /usr/local/share/doc/$PORT

or someplace else.

In particular, I'm planing on submitting a patch to sysutils/rsnapshot  
port to also install, somewhere, the contrib directly that comes out  
of the tarball.

Cheers,

-j
