Hi,

sorry for the trouble, but I've just discovered that the man pages need
to go back into $GISBASE because of the way that `manpath` works.

it searches $PATH and for each path dir, if ../man/ exists it is added
to the manpath search list. Adding a symlink back there works, but seems
unnecessarily redundant.


GRASS65> manpath -d
...

path directory /usr/local/src/grass/svn/grass65/dist.i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin is not in the config file
but does have a ../man or man subdirectory
adding /usr/local/src/grass/svn/grass65/dist.i686-pc-linux-gnu/man to manpath

path directory /usr/local/src/grass/svn/grass65/dist.i686-pc-linux-gnu/scripts is not in the config file
but does have a ../man or man subdirectory
/usr/local/src/grass/svn/grass65/dist.i686-pc-linux-gnu/man is already in the manpath
