6	My guess is that it's (partly) due to the following definitions in
7	/etc/man.conf:
8
9	MANPATH /usr/share/man
10	MANPATH /usr/local/share/man
11	MANPATH /usr/X11R6/man
12	MANPATH /usr/local/man
13	MANPATH /usr/man
14
15	...because /usr/man is a symlink to /usr/share/man, and at least on some
16	machines /usr/X11R6 is a symlink to /usr. I haven't tried removing the
17	"duplicates" though. The MANPATH_MAP possibly also have an influence.
