I posted some stuff about this a month or so back, but I've forgotten
the details now.  I'll check up... I can't remember if setting MANPATH
actually works or not & suspect that the person who ported it had the
manual sources installed - it was looking in the .../man/cat# directory
instead of .../man/man# (or was it the other way round?)
