Since we install the binary programs to /usr/local hierarchy by default, we should also use the /usr/local hierarchy for manpages and do not mess with /usr/share/man directories which are usually managed by distributions. This allows better tracking of user installed manpages and is a cleaner approach in general. Signed-off-by: Michael Heimpold <[email protected]>
