I'm not sure though, but I guess that FreeBSD requires man pages also in 
/usr/share/man,
so this could be changed as well in the next hg commit. However, it's 
not a critical change
and we should thus just add it to the "todo" list. :)

It's alright, I still had some environment variables set causing these 
problems. :)
It's compiling fine now - and the pages are also copied to the right 
places from what I can tell. :)


Have a nice day,
