	There are things I don't understand about this entire process.
	That is, if I was a tarball to give to someone for
	distribution anywhere among FBSD users.

	Somegow I wound up with 109 *tbz tarballs.  These among them:


6 -rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel       5918 Nov 28 01:33 mkfontdir-1.0.4.tbz
18 -rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel      17429 Nov 28 01:33 mkfontscale-1.0.6.tbz
146256 -rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  149655791 Nov 28 01:33 openoffice.org-3.1.1.tbz
528 -rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel     520386 Nov 28 01:34 pango-1.24.5.tbz
152 -rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel     155011 Nov 28 01:33 pciids-20090807.tbz
608 -rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel     599789 Nov 28 01:33 pcre-8.00.tbz
11440 -rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel   11697094 Nov 28 01:33 perl-5.8.9_3.tbz


	These I eventually scp'd over to 'tao', my current desktop,
	and stored in /usr/ports/packages/All.  My 311 version of OOo
	would not complete until I figured out that pkg_add required
	the -F flag.  (Actually, I did pkg_add -vFf <OOo-tarball>.
	I chose the font packages and a few others from the 3D dialogs
	when I build openoffice.  

	Nutshell, is there a means of building only openoffice-3..1.tbz
	and letting the user of this use pkg_add and install or build
	his own additional ports, if any?
