Yes, that's it! The man page gets installed in ${MANDIR}${SECTION} is
why this work; it knows the SECTION is 8. Duh.
BTW, should this program go in ${PREFIX}/bin or ${PREFIX}/sbin? I guess
since it's supposed to be a "secure rm" bin is the correct place.

That didn't appear to do anything the first time, but now that I've
done it CORRECTLY it seems to work like a charm. Stick it with a fork,
it's DONE. I can make; make install; make deinstall; make reinstall;
make clean and have nothing puke. Now maybe I can get off my butt
and make port kits for a couple of other things I have lying about.
Thanks, guys, as usual you've burned through the fog quickly. I'd have
been done even quicker, but I spent last night and today doing REAL
construction work on my new office, so I can dedicate more time to
hacking FreeBSD once winter gets here.
