No, I questioned what you did. I have no idea what you did.
How to I duplicate what you did?

Seems to me if you build from the tarball that the prebuilt man pages
would be installed. I have no idea if this is the case as I never do that.

So I'll ask again, what did you do that did not work as you expected.
And what would you like it to do.

Sorry, If I saw that I do not recall. Can you send me your test
procedure?

Dunno. I never tested it, but seems like a good idea.

Dunno.

Because people want them?
