Relying on Makefile.am to produce the manpages works.


Now I just have to figure out why someone thought that openSUSE
should create the manpages directly... :)


The following command, using automake's help2man, also fails:

 perllibdir=lib ./doc/help2man -S FSF ./aclocal  \
   >/var/tmp/bduilroot/usr/share/man/man1/aclocal.1
