I tried to trade-off complexity for generality. I don't think the 
following lines are hard to understand:

INST_GROUPS+=       docs
INST_FROM.docs=     doc
INST_FILES.docs=    *.html
INST_TO.docs=       share/doc/${PKGNAME}

Well, ok, compared to the explicit command

cd ${WRKSRC}/doc \
&& ${INSTALL_DATA} *.html ${DESTDIR}${PREFIX}/share/doc/${PKGNAME}/.

it may be pretty verbose. I thought I could remove some of the 
redundancy (WRKSRC, DESTDIR, PREFIX), but now I think I only made it worse.
