 This is because building the documentation set needs a bunch of
 toolchains.  If you want this but not want to install the toolchains,
 install it by using the corresponding packages.

If I understand Peter's message correctly, he was _surprised_ (astonished) that he needed the somewhat extensive docproj toolchain to rebuild (and it is huge, since it pulls tex in which you don't want to pull through a v.92 or GPRS modem ;)).

His suggestion would be that we explicitly *warn* that ??-freebsd-doc packages require docproj and its many dependencies for a rebuild and suggest that those who don't want those dependencies upgrade the package, as you suggest.

I'm not sure what the best way to deal with that would be, at least I'd suggest that Peter files a problem-report (send-pr or online) to propose such a warning (that is so that this discussion doesn't get lost).
