 Man pages are not being automatically installed when you do make install

 as noted by Greg Troxel in:

 https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/postgis-devel/2023-August/030074.html

 NetBSD packaging builds with just make install
 {{{
 pkgsrc is running configure:

   $ ./configure --enable-rpath --datadir=/usr/pkg/share/postgresql/contrib
 --with-address-standardizer -with-xsldir=/usr/pkg/share/xsl/docbook
 --x-includes=/usr/X11R7/include --x-libraries=/usr/X11R7/lib
 --prefix=/usr/pkg --build=x86_64--netbsd --host=x86_64--netbsd
 --mandir=/usr/pkg/man --enable-option-checking=yes

 and config.status has

   S["PGSQL_MANDIR"]="/usr/pkg/man"
   S["mandir"]="/usr/pkg/man"


 make install
 }}}


 Note that for debian packaging it works because they do an explicit man-
 install as noted by Bas:
