Yay! Finally someone take it, thanks!

While I am here, I have wondered in the past for why we have different  
path of mandir for base system and ports? /usr/share/man for base system  
and /usr/local/man for ports. Why not /usr/local/share/man for ports? or  
Why not /usr/man for base system? I personal prefer the mandir to be in  
share/.

Cheers,
Mezz
