I agree, but would like to keep it this way for this release for three
reasons:
1) the src/ makefile is actually doing the install. So from src/ you can
do a
make install-man
but it is no longer part of "src/make install". The doc/ makefile simply
does the above make.
2) moving the files will (unfortunately) eliminate the cvs log
information (unless I do bad stuff with the RCS tree behind cvs, and I'm
not touching that :)
3) the next release should have man pages derived from sgml so it won't
be an issue.
