cp the man page to SRC/../man/man4, then run 'gmake4.1' in SRC/../man
running 'command help' does not depend on the man page
for the g.help command, you need to create something in
SRC/../man/help.src and run the appropriate gmake.
For any programmers listening, I've found that the following
target in a Gmakefile works good (so that this is done automatically).
MSEC=4
MDIR=$(SRC)/../man/man$(MSEC)
MUTL=$(SRC)/../man/utilities
man:
-cp s.semivar.man $(MDIR)/s.semivar
nroff $(MUTL)/man.version $(MDIR)/.class-header \
$(MUTL)/man.header s.semivar.man $(MDIR)/.class-notice \
> $(GISBASE)/man/$(MSEC)/s.semivar
