Actually, it is not so clear yet if fink will support it or not. 
Well, we probably will add some way to make use of it, but I would 
strongly encourage anybody managing a unix package to not use mann, 
mano or manl. Better put your man pages in the appropriate secion, 
like man1 for user apps, man8 for apps meant for sysadmins, etc.

Cheers,
