	$Id: bsd.man.mk,v 1.26 1997/11/09 15:03:14 wosch Exp $

	but I believe that:

	$Id: bsd.man.mk,v 1.27 1998/04/27 15:08:07 bde Exp $

	suffers from the same problem.

>Description:

	bsd.man.mk can't handle man pages with ":"s, since it uses
	the ":T:S" constructs to extract elements.

>How-To-Repeat:

	% touch Net::servent.3

	% cat Makefile
	  MAN3+= Net::servent.3

	  .include <bsd.prog.mk>

	% make

	  make: don't know how to make Net::servent.3.gz. Stop

>Fix:
	
	I'm not sure of a fix, but I'll mention that bsd.port.mk uses
	a different construct for installing man pages and doesn't
	suffer from this problem.
