>Description:
	I was sorry to found that documentation packages are not working as
	mentioned in the FreeBSD FAQ, Question 2.2 ``Is the documentation
	available in other formats, such as plain text (ASCII), or
	PostScript?''. I created a patch to temporarily remove the text
	describing this method, because it is unavailable these days as
	there is no documentation packages at all (at least I did not find
	any on the FTP servers).
	
	However, I would be happy to help to reanimate these packages.
