MFC r315053-r315054, r315056
r315053: Add share/man if it exists to the MANPATH localbase is not consistent with base for manpages: /usr/local/man vs /usr/share/man adding share/man allows to fix that inconsistency and would permit to remove tons of patches/modifications in the ports tree r315054: Extend functionality MANPATH in man(1) to followup with apropos(1) from mandoc. If MANPATH begins with a colon, it is appended to the default list; if it ends with a colon, it is prepended to the default list; or if it contains two adjacent colons, the standard search path is inserted between the colons. If none of these conditions are met, it overrides the standard search path. Import the MANPATH description from mandoc into the man(1) man page Reported by: kargl MFC after: 1 week r315056: Remove the warning when MANPATH is set in the environment The MANPATH environment variable behaviour is documented properly in the manpage and it now has extended to new feature that allows to make MANPATH env variable extending the default search path rather than overwriting it making the warning painful Reported by: kargl MFC after: 1 week
