I've made progress in my efforts, and it turns out that the 'build
release' failure(s) (in part) come about from certain ports'
distfiles, associated with the document toolchain, not being fetched
(intermittent network failures, Sourceforge breakage, etc.).

The 'solution', it seems to me, it to pre-fetch them myself.  However,
other than by time-consuming trail-and-error, I don't know what to
pre-fetch.

So - my question to all you smart people out there:  is this an
answerable question:

   For all RELEASETAGs for which I can perform a 'make release'
   for, which distfiles are neccessary to satisfy the MINIMALDOCPORTS
   target?
