You're the king, Alexander. Now, do you have any idea if all man pages
for the Xorg tarballs are packed into a man/ subdirectory? They're
usually follow a pretty standard setup, but not always. I'll check
that the know offending ones are (xf86-input-evdev, xf86-input-fbdev
and xf86-input-ati). I think those are all the affected packages. I
don't normally build all of Xorg, but I did it a while back, and I got
the same matches there on my saved tree.
