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.
