Failing that work, the documentation should be in a place that will be
immediately available.  One of the biggest problems we've found with
/usr/sfw is that hardly anyone knows it exists or can find it.  If man
pages were available for utilities that specified their paths, those
utilities would be findable (at least, so the theory goes).

... but the same issue applies to /usr/openwin, /usr/dt and /usr/X11, so
this shouldn't be a showstopper.

The desktop login programs have traditionally set MANPATH in desktop sessions
to include /usr/openwin & /usr/dt - which isn't the right solution (a default
man path configured in a system wide file like the BSD's would be better), but
is the way these were handled in the past.
