This also happens when you set 'install_dirs=vendor', but not 'core'.

Config.pm is not setting 'installsiteman*dir' - at least not on my 
machines.  I don't know if this is something I've done wrong when 
installing perl, but TBH I have fairly standard installs.

More likely, we should be using one of the following for both 'site' 
and 'vendor':

	installman*dir
	man*dir
	man*direxp

After reading the docs, I'd say use the first.

Unfortunately I couldn't confirm this by looking through MakeMaker, and 
I'm outta time for today.  Ideas?
