Is there a way to make all those .html files appear under a different dir? 
Right now I put together a script like that:
======
#!/bin/sh
# A small script used to build README.html files and package using
# bundle-readmes script, clean up, and unpack it all where they can be
# served to the world

PORTSDIR=/usr/ports
WWWDIR=/var/www/htdocs
/usr/ports/infrastructure/build/bundle-readmes &&
cd $PORTSDIR &&
tar -ztf ports-readmes.tar.gz -s /ports\\///g | grep -v /files/ | xargs rm &&
tar -zxf $PORTSDIR/ports-readmes.tar.gz -C $WWWDIR
======

But I was thinking, maybe there is a better way? I tried setting the variables 
mentioned in man ports under "read only ports tree" (WRKOBJDIR, 
PKGREPOSITORYBASE, BULK_COOKIES_DIR and DISTDIR) but none of that seemed to 
have an effect. I'm thinking of something like 
"</usr/ports/>$ SOMEVARIABLE=$WWWDIR make readmes",
is that possible at all, or am I just wasting my time and it's better to stick 
with the methods as the above script?

Thanks in advance for answers/pointers/cluestick
