>Description:
	when trying to get some information 'bout - let's say gettext - 'man dcgettext'
	fails. To repair this I always set MANPATH environment variable until I see
	/etc/manpath.conf. After a short look I saw that only binaries are mapped, so
	neither ports library functions nor X (or X-related) library function calls
	could be looked up via man.
	This two appended lines fix this :-)
>How-To-Repeat:
	man dcgettext
	man -k gettext
>Fix:

	apply this patch
