It can be used by either users or makefiles to turn off normal man page processing. It is used for this by src/Makefile.inc1 and could be used by makefiles generally in the same way (to make several passes). This commit quadruples the number of makefiles in /usr/src that use the nonstandard method MAN=. Previously there was only 1 (libgssapi/Makefile). Such makefiles even used to be outnumbered by ones which use NO_MAN with its correct spelling NOMAN (there are 4 of these). About 200 makefiles use the standard knob. NetBSD still uses mainly NOMAN= in makefiles. It never uses NO_MAN in makefiles, but uses MAN= in about 13. It only documents NOxxx in bsd.README, and says there that NOxxx is not intended for users. Perhaps NO_xxx should be for users and NOxxx for makefiles. Bruce
