I'd rather have them available but I don't want you to invent a new
top-level directory to put them in:
% tar vtjf mingw-runtime-3.12-1.tar.bz2 | grep /man/
tar: Record size = 8 blocks
drwxr-xr-x ironhead/Administrators 0 2007-03-26 03:01:02 usr/man/
drwxr-xr-x ironhead/Administrators 0 2007-03-26 03:04:38 usr/man/man3/
-rw-r--r-- ironhead/Administrators 8956 2007-03-26 03:04:38 usr/man/man3/basename.3
-rw-r--r-- ironhead/Administrators 8956 2007-03-26 03:04:37 usr/man/man3/dirname.3
These should be installed in usr/share/man and basename.3 should become
mingw-basename.3. Ditto for dirname.
