If you find a way to do this could you post it back to the list. I don't
want to install X just to build the docs either.

Subject: Re: Stable Documentation
Yeah, I started making that docproj meta-port. Then, I got a little
perterbed when it started building and installing Xfree86. I think I'm
just going to install the things listed in the "needed utilities" section
of the documentation project primer. All I really wanted is to make HTML
files out of the doc tree so that I could read the most up to date
documentation.
