True.  Mike is very right.  I think in this case, I probably assumed too
much.  This is what was my impression from the original post.  That Patrick
wants to "build" the documentation.  Otherwise, I'd probably have pointed
to the FTP mirrors that hold the daily snapshots of the docs.

You don't really -need- the docproj port, since any kind of contribution is
welcome.  Even short notices by email to doc@FreeBSD.org with text like
``you have a typo in page http://blah/foo.  Change "fubar" to "foobar".''
are certainly useful, and much appreciated.
