Hmm, I notice that this rule to install manpages is pretty slow:

for file in /pgsql/source/00head/doc/src/sgml/man1/*.1 /pgsql/source/00head/doc/src/sgml/man3/*.3
/pgsql/source/00head/doc/src/sgml/man7/*.7;do /bin/sh /pgsql/source/00head/config/install-sh -c -m 644 $file
/pgsql/install/00head/share/man/`echo$file | sed 's,^/pgsql/source/00head/doc/src/sgml/,,'` || exit; done
 

Can we use "basename" here instead of the `echo | sed` hack?

Hmm, oh, I see it's stripping everything except the last directory level.
I guess I'd go for doing a simple cp inside each man directory.

Yeah, that was really freakishly complicated.  Fixed now.

It is much better now, thanks.
