I'm working on a new port, and the one thing I can't seem to solve is the
man pages. They install fine, but they're not formatted right.
In the Makefile that is built from configure, this is the section that
handles the man pages:
@cd $(TOP_DIR)/doc; for i in *.n; \

Running what I *thought* was the same sed command in the Makefile
of the port doesn't solve the problem of the formatting of the man
pages, but it doesn't generate any errors either:

man expr to give the short answer to your first question:
As an example, x=`expr $x + 1`
536 ~ $ x=4
537 ~ $ x=`expr $x + 1`

need for spaces between each token in the expr command.
My sh shell script ability is not that good.
