hey Jan,

while a web page is useful for people trying to get things up and
running, I think it should be made part of the official documentation,
partly so everything is in one place, and partly so that there's an
incentive to merge these things into pkgsrc itself.

having "documentation" like this spread all over the place does more
harm than good I think :(

the documentation is the first thing people will look at (or
should!). we should make it as simple as possible for people to find
what they are looking for easily and quickly.

grant.
