Hi,

In mk/defs.Linux.mk, _PREFORMATTED_MAN_DIR is set to 'cat'.  It seems to
me, that this ought to be 'man', or did I miss something?

Also, we should determine a way to PLIST_SUBST imake-generated
man-page-paths:

wm/larswm (just one example) currently has PLISTS for Linux and NetBSD
due to the fact that man-pages on the former are installed as
man/man1/foo.1x
while they are installed as 
man/cat1/foo.0
on NetBSD.

With a PLIST_SUBST, this could be simplified.
