[gentoo-portage-dev] [PATCH] man pages: note that make.conf can be a directory (463266)

[Zac Medico]

Commit 86e75790954e766beba75443d967b2c25055c5b0 added support for
make.conf to be a directory, but the feature was undocumented.
Therefore, update the man pages, as suggested in bug #465164,
comment #9.

Fixes 86e75790954e ("make.conf: recurse directories, bug #463266")
