IMHO, Redhat's `man' SRPM has some excellent patches which serve to make
it more i18n friendly, fix a few things here and there, and resolves a
few FHS issues. I think it would be well worth investigating. I'd
suggest picking up the latest SRPM from
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/.
Cheers,
Nicholas
