# Generate the initial man database (or rebuild it if it exists).
# We want to skip this step if installing somewhere besides / (e.g. with
# the -root option or ROOT env variable set for installpkg), hence the
# readlink silliness.

# The -c option means it blows away any existing db. I thought about
# leaving it off (it will still create the db if it doesn't exist),
# but decided it's better to build it fresh if the package gets
# reinstalled (in case the db format has changed, or in case the
# db is corrupted and the user is trying to fix it by reinstalling
# this package).
