Given that docproj includes TeX it's dependency list, complaining about
the weight of graphviz seems silly. There might be some value
in creating a graphviz-lite slave port to remove the XPM and TK support,
but otherwise it isn't all that bad. Generating these graphs by
hand would require a huge amount of work everything anything changed.
Unless you plan to do it, suggesting it pointless.

At least at this point this argument may have more merit. The
mentor-mentee graphs are cools, but nearly impossible to read (since I
don't have a 16k pixel wide monitor :).
