-Hi,
-
-some operating systems use PREFIX/man instead of PREFIX/share/man as the base
-directory for man pages and PREFIX/libexec/ instead of PREFIX/lib/ for files
-like CGI programs.
-At the moment the location of the installed man pages and the w3m cgi wrapper
-is hard-coded in Makefile.PL.
-The patch below makes it possible to install those files to alternative directories
-while the default stays as it is now.
-
-> It should be possible to use the existing MakeMaker variables such as
-> INSTALLMAN1DIR (though MakeMaker lacks one for man8). I'd prefer not
-> adding new variables where MakeMaker already has them. --[[Joey]]
-
-<pre>
-
- - Introduce two variables, IKI_MANDIR and IKI_W3MCGIDIR, to be set from
- the command line. This enables locations for man pages and the w3m
- cgi wrapper other than the hard-coded defaults in Makefile.PL.
