1If you look at the files here you should be able to figure out what is
2being done.

4../scripts/genLocInfo handles the parsing of these files.
5
6If no "more specific" file has been found and cvo.sh says the OS is
7redhat* or fedora*, we will look for loc/redhat .
8
9If no "mode specific" file has been found and the "uname" command returns
10"Linux", we will look for loc/linux .

12Note that automake has interesting behavior - we build the man pages using
13the man_MANS target, but they are actually installed using the empty
14manX_MANS= target, which "does the right thing".  This means that we
15need to have empty manX_MANS= targets for each possible X, based on
16the data in the loc/ files.  For executables, this generally means
17sections 1 and 8.
