Ok, I'm preparing the files. Until I'm ready can you recheck the pgAgent
manpage I sent (in particular the synopsis) please.

As far as I know a patched version of docbook2x-man is deistributed
directly with PostgreSQL, maybe it would be interesting to take a look
to how they are organizing the stuff?

I confirm they do exist :) On my system all C manpages are installed in
/usr/share/man/man[1|2|...] and localised ones are installed in
/usr/share/man/(fr_FR|es_ES|...)/man[1|2|...]
I would use doc/man and doc/man/fr_FR & so on. It should be investigated
though. One more time, let's take a look to how it's done for PostgreSQL.
