>Description:
With newer autoconf (2.61 I think), the default location of
man and info pages are moved to ${prefix}/share/{man,info} which
violates hier(7). About 300 ports set correct location in
CONFIGURE_ARGS. This should be done in bsd.port.mk automatically.

The patch
http://people.freebsd.org/~rafan/maninfodir-all.diff
MD5 (maninfodir-all.diff) = 8f373a7f16e286d0e5a9ede703d2ae99
includes the following changes:
1) Set --mandir and --infodir in CONFIGURE_ARGS if the configure
script supports them [1]. This is done in the shell variable
_LATE_CONFIGURE_ARGS which is evaluated in do-configure target.
2) Remove --mandir and --infodir in ports' Makefile where applicable.
Few ports use REINPLACE_CMD to achieve the same effect, remove them
too. Few ports needs special care to correctly install man/info
files: editors/xemacs21-mule and japanese/FreeWnn-lib.
3) Correct manual pages location from PREFIX/man to MANPREFIX/man
4) Define INFO_PATH where necessary
5) Document .info files installed in a subdirectory relative to
INFO_PATH and slightly change add-plist-info to use INFO_PATH
and subdirectory detection
Once it's committed I will update Porter's Handbook for it (also
expand the info section a bit).
Discussed with: stas (Mk/*), gerald (INFO related stuffs)
[1] databases/postgresql74-server's configure lies about --infodir.
The configure script is patched to correctly support it.
Note: For the Modular X.Org tree, removing the --mandir line in
bsd.xorg.mk should be sufficient.
