so i have just been bitten by the implicitly
included openbsd chroot patch for nginx.

the issue is, that i _remembered_ there is a
parameter to turn it off, but upon doing
man nginx, i could not find it. then i proceeded
to read the pkg-readme as well, and not a
word about it.  yes, it is in nginx -h at least.

i think this makes the nginx port very confusing.

so first of all, would it be possible to add
the needed bits to the man page?  i would also
welcome it very much if pkg-readme's by default
listed ANY intrusive local openbsd changes
like this.  and make this a hard rule.

and second, i was wondering if it was possible
to create an nginx flavor without the chroot patch.

sometimes i just want a vanilla nginx, just like
upstream, so i am not going to be bitten by this
when i deploy stuff to linux servers...
actually, i think it should be the other way
around, nginx-chroot being a flavor, and not
vice versa....
