It has always annoyed be that package authors had to write ${PKGMANDIR}/
in the definition of INSTALLATION_DIRS, where a short man/ would be much shorter. Since we already have that man-transforming magic in some other places of pkgsrc, it's also here. While here, documented INSTALLATION_DIRS and INSTALLATION_DIRS_FROM_PLIST so they are found by "bmake help".
