Hi Mike,

    install man by default

I don't see a reason not to, although it's up to Antonio.

    Use softlinks rather than hardlinks in the install steps.

Why is that preferable?

What I see in the rules is that && should be used instead of ; for
defensive purposes, as in

< cd $(DESTDIR)$(mandir)/man1 ; ln ...
--
> cd $(DESTDIR)$(mandir)/man1 && ln ...

Best,
Karl
