I have noticed that almost 1840 ports have configure.args set to install man pages in ${prefix}/share/man instead of the default location ${prefix}/man and that the mtree-violation code does not like ${prefix}/man. Can we allow ${prefix}/man to be used and perhaps even set it to be the preferred location for man pages since it seems to fit more with the UNIX default location?

(The last line is there to show the command I used).
I had recently ( as in about 1200UTC 13/8/2007) done a selfupdate and a sync which included several new versions of some packages. These were 'upgraded' beforehand.
Is there something I have to do to get this to work?
Thanks
