Because it documents and describes the behavior of the version of gimp=20
installed by the pkgsrc, well this was the idea.

The gimp documents are available online, ideal for those that want to read =
the=20
documentation before downloading the software, and hence this argument=20
doesn't stick. Installation of the docs and apps on different systems doesn=
't=20
make sense either, as gimp expects them to be installed in their standard=20
location. Without it, gimp will not be able to access these files and provi=
de=20
a functional help menu.

As the documents are already formatted and don't need further processing,=20
removing the dependency will have no adverse affect other than accommodatin=

a few users and their fantasies ;-)

I will remove the dependency and many thanks for your feedback.=20
