From 9d22c29093fd9d2a29aa12ec42bbf744ce0249b3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: - Add an OPTIONAL_MANPATH directive (same as MANDATORY_MANPATH,  
 except an absence of the directory is not considered an error   and doesn't
 produce a warning).   Put /usr/local/lib/perl5/*/man under OPTIONAL_MANPATH.

- An order of directives in manpath.config is now irrelevant.

- Get rid of infinite loop when PATH is unset or NULL, and
  MANDATORY_MANPATH directory doesn't exist.

- mdoc(9)ify manpage.
