The attached Makefile for man/ does not yet work, but I think it's just my
limited man page knowledge.

For some reason I'm not seeing the solution for "make clean", probably
some typo.

I added a new target to actually create the translated man pages. For
testing, I inserted a dummy version, please remove.

What I'm not so sure is how to best call "translated", probably as a
dependency for "all install"? 

You can of course integrate it in the target "all install", that would
be the easiest solution.

I suggest you use this Makefile as an input and then we work from
there.

Greetings

             Helge
