I prefer the FHS compilant approach, too. If you like I'll change the default man path when I update man. As 1.5.0 has a lot of changes maybe now would be a good time to change everything and add some more mean'ness. ;-) Seriously, if we want to change where everything sits now is the perfect time to do so.
