15 The reason I question this is the prior discussions that we've had on a
16 future FEATURES="noman noinfo nodoc" thingy. Or was that a USE flag
17 thing. Either way, it seemed as though man, info and docs were going to
18 become optional. In that sense, then, I'd rather make this a USE based
19 post-install to glibc, coreutils etc etc
