That autotool path looks suspect. I don't think any of the autotools
use that directory any more, after the package reorganization. Though I
guess the old packages might need it. IMHO if a package needs something
added to the MANPATH it should do it itself, it shouldn't be part of the
base /etc/profile. Though you really should coordinate this with
Charles Wilson to see what he thinks.
