Summary: configure ignores --mandir

Initial Comment:
Actually, Makefile.in (in various places) ignores the 
--mandir configuration option to configure.

As such, man pages are always installed under 
$(PREFIX)/man regardless of what the user 
specifies.

(I have noticed that an awful lot of GNU packages 
have a similar bug.  Yet, a few BSD derived 
operating systems like man pages to be installed 
in /usr/local/share/man/)
