[PATCH] A Handbook Section on Documentation Ports

Dear list members,

In February, Marc Fonvieille (from the {Documentation,Release}
Engineering Team) has finally committed some documentation ports to the
FreeBSD ports tree (c.f. [1][2]), so I have provided some instructions
on how to use them in the FreeBSD Handbook.  There is already an
"Updating the Documentation Set" section, and I think adding further
information on these documentation ports would be a good idea.  I do not
know whether the documentation ports are stable enough for common and
everyday use, but while I wrote the patch I did not experience any
problems with them.

Feel free to review and comment on my patch [3].

Thank you for your replies in advance, and already thanks rene@,
manolis@, gabor@, trhodes@ for their initial comments and suggestions.

Cheers,
:g
