Oh, and this was actually more because I got tired of editing three
separate lists of all the man pages all the time (the source ones, the
installed ones, and the rules to install them all).  We can do it with
explicit rules; it's just very repetative.  Not that big of a deal with
cut and paste, though.

I'm torn over which is the better installation method, the explicit loop
or the dependency method that most of INN uses.
