You dont need PKGNAME=$DISTNAME, thats the default. As for the DOCS, you
can do ${INSTALL_DATA} ${WRKSRC}/{README,COPYING}
${PREFIX}/share/doc/wmconfig (and then update the PLIST)
Do the same for the samples, since mv'ing them wont work if you build as
regular user ,you'll usually get ownership issues.

I have no idea how our man handles this - maybe just rename the manpage
