--- Comment #5 from Kyle Evans <kevans@freebsd.org> ---
My personal favorite way to view this is that we have four tiers of libraries:

 - LIB/SHLIB
 - PRIVATELIB
 - INTERNALLIB
 - teken

teken is almost an INTERNALLIB, but it's basically the niche of the niche.  I
think it'd be a lot more confusing to install it because it's not available as
any of the other three categories, you have to .PATH over into the source.

The build glue in sys/teken/libteken does install manpages if you're personally
interested, but if you're neck-deep in it then I'm not sure I see the value in
installing them (for man.f.o availability).
