A lot of the app/* stuff puts man pages in section m, because they
aren't suffixed with their section and dist_man_MANS isn't able to
figure out the section by itself. Here's a patch to specify section 1
for the app man pages. For your reference, here's the section on how it
works from the automake docs:

"   Sometimes developers prefer to name a man page something like
`foo.man' in the source, and then rename it to have the correct suffix,
for example `foo.1', when installing the file.  Automake also supports
this mode.  For a valid section named SECTION, there is a corresponding
directory named `manSECTIONdir', and a corresponding `_MANS' variable.
Files listed in such a variable are installed in the indicated section.
If the file already has a valid suffix, then it is installed as-is;
otherwise the file suffix is changed to match the section."

Thanks,
Donnie
