 We generally try to avoid installing a file and then moving it to
 another location.  It's inefficient, and can cause problems with some
 security measures.  Moreover, it doesn't prevent an overwrite of the
 existing manpage if motif is already installed.  A solution would be
 to use the --enable-man-suffix configure option, to rename all of the
 manpages.  This would help prevent other conflicts, and make it clear
 what manpages are associated with tcl.  This should be done uniformly,
 for all of the tcl/tk ports.
