Hi Frank,

The main pb is that this way, each man page must exist in each language. Here is
an example :

MANLANG=        "" de es fr hu
MAN1+=  amulecmd.1
MAN1+=  amuleweb.1

Here, you will automatically get this list of files "added" to pkg-plist :

man/man1/amulecmd.1
man/man1/amuleweb.1
man/de/man1/amulecmd.1
man/de/man1/amuleweb.1
man/es/man1/amulecmd.1
man/es/man1/amuleweb.1
man/fr/man1/amulecmd.1
man/fr/man1/amuleweb.1
man/hu/man1/amulecmd.1
man/hu/man1/amuleweb.1

But, what if hu doesn't provide amulecmd.1 ??? I get errors when deinstalling
the port... Is there any way to manage this ?

Ganael.
