That's probably fine.

>From a technical perspective:

  * It's 60MB, which is a noticeable bite, but hopefully not too big.

  * Its postinstall script copies its man pages to /usr/local/man/man1,
for some reason.  Strange, but probably no big deal.

  * Its postinstall script munges /etc/mailcap and /etc/mime.types.  I
assume that neither helps nor hurts us.
