Packaging bug - in addition to the DESTDIR issue brought up by John Rose, 'make
install' is goofing on the man pages.  As a result of the goof, the contents
uuencode.5 were overwriting uuencode.1 on installation, making `man 1 uuencode'
and `man 1 uudecode' useless.

doc/ChangeLog:
2005-09-09  Eric Blake  <address@hidden>

        * Makefile.am (dist_man5_MANS): Distribute uuencode.5 in man5, not
        man1.
