Ahh..  I guess that in the future the FreeBSD Ports of gnucash-docs
will properly set the datadir similarly.  Either that or the
gnucash-docs package should someone figure out where to install itself
based upon the installed gnucash.  Some way to query gnucash for its
GNC_HELPDIR might be an interesting way to go.

No problem.  Hopefully you can help us by answering this question for
the next user that comes by ;)
