	Hi! I'm the maintainer of the palm/coldsync port. I'm about to
release a new stable version and update the port, and have run across
a problem. I'm hoping you might be able to suggest a solution.

	ColdSync includes a Perl package, which in turn has two man
pages that go in section 3. Hence, ports/palm/coldsync/Makefile
defines
	MAN3PREFIX=     ${PREFIX}/lib/perl5/${PERL_VERSION}
	MAN3=           ColdSync.3 \
	                ColdSync::SPC.3

	The new version includes lots of section 3 man pages that
aren't part of the Perl package. Thus I have a bunch of files that get
installed in /usr/local/share/man/man3, and two that get installed in
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.00503/man/man3 .
	Is there a good way of dealing with this? Should I simply
treat the Perl man pages as non-man files, add them to pkg-plist, and
perhaps compress them manually in a post-install: target in the
Makefile?

	Thanks,
