I found a strange bug in configure.  All lines like:

  err=`eval "$CPP $DEFS conftest.c 2>&1 >/dev/null"`

should be changed with:

  err=`eval "$CPP $DEFS conftest.c 2>&1"`

The error looks strange to me because it is so big, and it appears to
be present in all the FSF distributed software.  Am I overlooking
anything? 


One more thing: there is no way of specifying the man dir.  The
default one is not good for system V.

I am not part of this list, so please send the answers to me, too.
Thanks
