We have an unlucky usage for writing man-page names as `*.man' without mentioning the man-page section. That makes most man-page sources in groff unreasonable
I propose to use change this naming scheme `*.man' into `*.<number>n' and `*.n' into `*.<number>'. Examples: Both files `groff.man' as `groff.1n' and `groff.7n' as source and as `groff.1' and `groff.7' after compiling. A lot of work for implementing that within automake seems to be necessary, so maybe a later time could be better. If large manual renaming is necessary, I could do that. Bernd Warken
