Hi folks,


I've just seen that zlib is one of the packages with an "build" 
useflag, which AFAIK is set for building an stage1 (right ?).

In the case of zlib it actually skips the documentation. 
Aren't there other useflags or features for that, so there would 
be an more generic solution ?

I do not yet know how buildin an stage1 actually works, but IMHO 
the whole docs+man stuff should be skipped anyway. So, IMHO, 
in case of the zlib, it should be handled this way instead of
using the "build" useflag.

(Just my personal feelings ;-O)

No offense, but before you suggest a change, shouldn't you try to
determine how and why things are done the way they are currently?
