 Replying to [comment:2 neteler]:
 > Hence the implications of r49908 are unclear to me.
 r49908 moved the destination directory for manual pages. It omitted a
 necessary change for "make bindist" (which was fixed in r50818), but
 appears to be otherwise complete. man/Makefile uses MANDIR which is
 derived from MANBASEDIR which was changed in r49908, so doesn't require
 any changes.

 In spite of the name, the "man" directory in the GRASS source tree relates
 mainly to the HTML manual pages. It contains the GRASS logo images, the
 CSS stylesheet, and the Python scripts to build the various HTML indices.

 Both the HTML-format and nroff-format manual pages are normally built from
 the module's Makefile, although man/Makefile will generate any nroff-
 format pages which are missing. Originally, the nroff-format manual pages
 were all generated by man/Makefile, but adding it to the standard "html"
 target ensures that any errors in the <module>.html file will show up if
 the developer runs "make" in the module directory.
