I fully agree too, what we need to do is:
1. Backout these changes (revert man.c back to the revision 1.38).
2. No additional patch is required to look into en.ISO_8859-1 for
all en_*.ISO_8859-1 locales, man(1) is already smart enough,
see the
/usr/bin/env LANG=en_US.ISO_8859-1 man -d
command output.
3. Make /usr/share/man/en.ISO_8859-1 created by default with cat?
subdirectories.
4. Symlink the man? subdirectories with the /usr/share/man/man? ones.
The 3) and 4) could be implemented by a simple patch to BSD.usr.dist.
So, do you want me to do the job?
Cheers,
