#66 manpage installation fails if subdirectories exist under mandir.

[Joel Ebel]

Installing man pages fails if subdirectories exist in man dir.
install-data-hook in doc/Makefile has the following line:

$(SED) -i "s/@version@/$(VERSION)/" $(DESTDIR)$(mandir)//

If $mandir contains subdirectories, then this will match those, and sed fails trying to edit a directory. In my case, some programs had installed language specific subdirectories until $mandir, such as es/ and fr/, and the / matched es/man1, es/man5, etc, which were directories, not files. I changed the sed to match /.? which worked, but still seems risky, running sed against all files under $mandir, not just the ones you just installed.
