Actually, the automatic manual page handling deals with leading
directories fine - the old MANPREFIX or MAN[1-9ln]PREFIX cases - the
egrep gonzo regular expression was carefully constructed to deal with
them, as well as MANLANG intermediate directories. However, what it
couldn't handle was multiple files in ${PLIST_SRC}, and I've just
checked in a fix for that - version 1.105 of bsd.pkg.mk should handle
this fine.
