>Organization:
>Environment:

The standard awk (3.0.6) in RELENG_4 installs both awk.1 and gawk.1 manpages
into /usr/share/man1.
When one installs ports/lang/gawk (which is version 3.1.0, and
has an important feature, namely asort()) the manpage goes
into /usr/local/man1 and so it is never seen.

There are two ways around this: either not install the gawk.1 manpage
with the system's awk, or rename the manpage for the port to something
like gawk310 or so.
