        /usr/bin                /usr/share/man,1,1m,1s,1t,1c,1f


I think I get it (right after I sent my mail).

In the absence of a defined MANPATH, man will search search all of 
/usr/man after all the directories indicated by "bin" directories.  I 
see the motivation now (if I finally understand).  Eventually, all of 
the subsections will be searched, this just alters the order of the search.

Of course, that still begs the question as to if this is a compatible 
change.  I think it technically is, but its one of
those things that are obvious enhancements that we can cut things a 
little slack on this (IMHO).

(The minor binding is important.)

(Nit, I just noticed, and I have this right, (1m) should *not* be in the 
list for /usr/bin, right?)
