Installing BIND 9's MAN pages

[Bob Vance]

Hmmm.
In the short time that I looked at it last night, I didn't see that the
'man' pages were done with the 'make install'.  I looked very, very briefly
at the Makefiles and didn't see it, so I just manually copied them to
/usr/local/man... .

Does the BIND distro support installing the 'man' pages cleanly?

I apologize to all those with flame throwers at the ready for this
non-researched question :)
Wait.  No, I don't ;>)
Bring it on!

Of course, if Bind9 came with the man pages in cat format as well (a la
OpenSsh), or even better they were not in a format that half of the unix
world
cannot read, this problem would not even come up...
