We need a knob that says -- this .a (and only .a; no .so, no _p.a) is built as an intermediate step of building a binary. Such .a's by definition have no man pages. This is a common occurrence in our tree, and a Makefile writer should not have to add 4 additional knobs to get the desired functionality. Not to mention the use of some of the bsd.lib.mk knobs is not clear from their name, nor the CVS commit logs. If you are the owner of bsd.lib.mk to demand that I pass all submissions thru you, then you make the changes to remove NOMAN. You don't like my design, so there is little I can do for you. IF we had an architureal board to arbitrate differing opinions based on technical merit. Unfortunately we have no such body, nor anything even comes close to providing the needed gudience in w/in FreeBSD.
