Hi everyone,

It took me a little while to get it done, but I added docbook2X to the
FreeBSD ports tree yesterday:

http://www.freshports.org/textproc/docbook2X/

I then changed the dependency in security/logcheck from
textproc/docbook-to-man to textproc/docbook2X.  This reduces the number
of recursive dependencies by almost 100, so it should be a lot quicker
to install the tool now.

Feedback welcome,
Greg
