I understand that we need not have more than one subdirectory under
man/ to store Japanese online manuals.

I think that replacing /usr/share/man/ja with /usr/share/man/ja_JP.EUC
could be done easily (by modification of doc/ja/man/Makefile.inc and
src/etc/mtree/BSD.usr.dist).  But, replacing /usr/local/man/ja with
/usr/local/man/ja_JP.EUC may not be easy, because this replace forces
ports' maintainers to rewrite manpage destinations (all pkg/PLIST
which contains man/ja should be modified).  Mr. Asami, is this change
acceptable for ports team?

If man/ja is replaced with man/ja_JP.EUC, new FreeBSD's man command
can find ja_JP.EUC manuals under man/ja_JP.EUC.  But it cannot show
Japanese online manuals, because FreeBSD's groff command and more
command cannot handle Japanese text now.  This replace do not have
merit now, so I personally think that we do not have to replace man/ja
with man/ja_JP.EUC now.
