Details:
Makefile variables can contain characters that need to be escaped when
interpolated in man page text. The most notable case is that of hyphen-minus
characters in file specifications.
For instance, ".../site-tmac/..." needs to be ".../site\-tmac/..." in man page
text.
I have a patch for this.
