some other things ...

- apache20 is dead so use 22 instead 20
- you don't need apache as build dependency so use
  s|USE_APACHE=20+|USE_APACHE_RUN=22+|
- s|www/frontaccounting|%%WWWDIR%%|
- s|share/doc/frontaccounting|%%DOCSDIR%%|
- use %%PORTDOCS%%%%DOCSDIR%% in pkg-plist and test install with and without DOCS
- please use PORTDOCS= instead DOCS= (make.conf)
- there is no config_db.php
- file config.default.php is twice in pkg-plist
- please start using the new options framework
- documents are installed twice (in WWWDIR and DOCSDIR)
- is it really necessary to chown -R www:www WWWDIR
  generally bad usage, isn't WWWDIR/tmp is enough?
- use pkg-install to change permission, not TMPPLIST
  else permissions are set only during package install
