Yes.  However, I could commit this patch to encourage
docsnap.sk.freebsd.org to be online when the patch goes HTML :)

Well, I had an interesting comment on this from Colin Percival.  He said
that calling this technique "docsnap" might confuse people, because he
has a portsnap (and now a tarsnap) service, with very different
implementation.  He would prefer calling it "docsync" over "docsnap".
Just for your information.

Thank you for the ping, sorry for the delay. I was pretty busy with
another BSD-related things these days.

Cheers,
