Hi, pkg Maintainers --

while doing another install of 12-STABLE, I thought of something
simple that would be a helpful addition to the pkg installer. I was
installing boost-all (from the port, in this case) and I was struck by
the number of times the pkg dialog box popped up with JUST the
checkbox for documentation.

It would be really nice if there was a global switch that would
automagically select for installing (or not installing) the pkg
documentation. -d/-D are available, at least for the pkg install
form... :D
