Allow man paes in multiple languages. Currently, when I
add another language to the manpath, only the first
matching man page is selected, if the man path e.G. is
MANPATH /usr/share/man:/usr/share/man/de
when I request the man page of ls, the page
/usr/share/man/man1/ls.1.gz is always returned, no
choice is possible. If I reverse the MANPATH, I always
get the german version of the man page
(/usr/share/man/de/man1/ls.1.gz). It ould be nice to
have a possibility to select the german man page
somehow, but as I look at the code it seems not so
trivial to do so... Maybe a user selectable man path
prefix?
