It seems that the OpenJDK build installs a man page for javaws,

This only happens on 32-bit platforms, hence why I've never seen it
myself.  I've posted a webrev:

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~andrew/javaws/webrev.01/

which disables the installation when building OpenJDK.  If you don't
need this man page for the proprietary installation either, we could
instead just get rid of the man pages and the appropriate lines in the
Makefile.

Thoughts?
Probably a small oversight that just wasn't noticed before. I've created a bug to track it:

7021314: Build should not install javaws man page

The changes in the webrev look right solution to me but I'll leave it to Kelly to review.
