Sorry... I meant --without-xmlto (not fop)

The problem is that we have cyclic dependencies between xmlto and the X11 libraries in MacPorts, so I decided to push all the documentation into a variant.  By default, we --disable-{docs,devel-docs,specs} --without-{doxygen,xmlto,fop,groff,...} and we only enable them when the user requests it.

It sounds like this scheme would result in man pages not being built by default, but they still are because it looks like we fallback on using the .man generated by the packager's 'make dist'
