	Good to know -- thanks :).

	Ok. I wasn't sure if there was a knob called WITHOUT_DOCS. It appears  
(looking back at the gstreamer configure script), that it assumes that  
one will ALWAYS install the HTML documentation; this is probably not  
desired in all cases (assuming they don't have online help provided  
with the package -- not saying they don't...) and we'll have to talk  
to the gstreamer team about making a knob to turn off installing the  
HTML docs..

	Uh, the 4 distfiles under `files/' for the current port didn't patch  
successfully for the base codec set. I'll be glad to share the errors  
if you like so we can compare results..
Thanks again!
