are downlevel manuals goodness?
If I'm reading the Makefile correctly, current HEAD no longer updates the
manual/ directory if it exists, unlike 1.3. What good is a downlevel manual?

Nah, we switched it to go to $(prefix)/manual by default. It's
not in the htdocs dir now. -- justin

kick me if i got this wrong, but manual was always copied into
@@INSTDIR@@/html/manual right?
that particularly sucked (i nuked html as one of the first things i did on
install, so as not to confuse anything).
what about sticking it into /usr/local/share or similar? and then having a
built in link, such as server-status .... ?
reason being, again, it'd be nice to make the INSTDIR cleaner. :)

Yeah, that looks bogus. I'd move the copying of the manual to
install-man and copy it unconditionally. -- justin
