A use case being that we provide low electrical powered firewalls/servers
for small businesses, they use 1-4G compact flash to hold the OS & ports
depending on purpose.  Users use the services provided by servers;
administrators are hands-off after the primary build.  The command line
isn't used and hence documentation isn't required.  Anything non-critical
to the functioning of the server is removed.  

Ideally we'd like NOPORTDOCS and other directives to work consistently
across all ports, rather than, as we do now, repackage the packages without
the things unnecessary to our mission, like: examples, doc... 

I take your point Mel, we should file PR's.  I recall some ports failed to
build the package if doc wasn't included, which resulted in our
time-pressed solution above.
