This is a fairly minor point, but it would be nice if the Makefile did
all of the manpage substitution stuff in the default target, so that
it didn't have to write any files to the build directory during "make
install".  The reason for this is that if you build as a non-root user
on an NFS-mounted filesystem which was not exported with root access,
and then you become root to do the "make install", it will fail if it
needs to write files to the build directory.
