I think it's a question for the group in general: which is the best
approach? The range of choices we have is basically to pick from the
following menu:
- Install a file into /etc/manpaths.d/
- Install a file into /etc/paths.d/
- Munge ~/.profile to munge MANPATH
- Munge ~/.profile to munge PATH
Note that for man to work on Leopard, we have to do either 1 or 3, at
least, as Leopard now sets MANPATH, which means that the auto path
stuff for man doesn't work.
I would prefer if there was a single script to be sourced* from e.g.
your .profile, that would set up both the PATH and MANPATH for
MacPorts... It's OK for the binary PKG/DMG installer to install it to
the user profile (currently a little broken, as it installs outside of
any given chroot).
But I don't want the install (as in: `make install`) to mess with
either of /etc/ or ~/.

* Yes, just like /sw/bin/init.sh and /sw/bin/init.csh from the Fink
project.
