   Depends on the platform. On a machine with a 300G hard drive, 21MB is
   totally ignorable. On an old Vax, it is a big problem.


considering that there is not a reader in netbsd base it most
certainly is a waste of diskspace for a default install.

it's duplicated from what's in the man & cat pages, so we'd have
a 3rd version of the same information.  i see no valid arguments
for turning on MKHTML by default.
