manpage) turned out as a major overhaul of all man pages:

 - renamed all *.1 files to *.1.in to act as templates which are being
   processed at build time
 - replaced some hard-coded values with place holder that are being
   replaced with the proper values at build time
 - Updated list of available man pages in the SEE ALSO section and added a
   hint to the manual for more details
 - Added a BUGS section to all pages, referring to the bugs DB
 - Updated some obsolete URLs and mail addresses

The actual content of these man pages should probably be cross-checked for
correctness, though...

     files during make.

   for the patch) (bug #135)

   for the Debian project) to fix some architecture-specific problems
   and some bugs


Makefile.am:
   - put current directory (.) at front of SUBDIRS list, so that "distclean" 
     is done last. IF done first, "distclean" in include directory fails
     because config.h is missing, which is removed by distclean in current
     directory. (thanks to "jww" for the patch)

     Debian project for the patch)
