Log:
Per request of the docs team, install docs as packages, instead of via
the normal distfile mechanism. Thanks to Marc Fonvieille for the patch and
for putting up with me taking entirely too long to commit this!

Umm, _configured network_ even for original English docs? In 8.2R those doc
packages for every lang were installed by sysinstall from CD (DVD1 actually),
as it should really be for new user - e.g. if network could be configured only
after reading Handbook, installing mpd5 from CD/DVD packages, and so on.
Or am I missing something, and it will still be available on the disk?
The packages are really big (40 MB per), and there's only a small amount
of space available on the disc. We *could* fit the English ones, but it
badly complicates the release scripts to begin doing package generation,
and Marc and I decided to do it this way.
