  * version:  1.5.2 => 1.6.0

Comment:

 This bug is due to the fact that in Leopard, MANPATH is now set explicitly
 by default (read path_helper(8)). In such a case, the extremely useful
 mapping of PATH to MANPATH (as had been done in prior versions of Mac OS
 X) is not performed, which means that the man pages at
 /opt/local/share/man are not found automatically.

 This problem has already been fixed in trunk. I'm not sure if the changes
 have yet been migrated to the 1.6 branch.

 Trunk installs two files, /etc/paths.d/macports and
 /etc/manpaths.d/macports, which contain lists of paths that should be
 incorporated into the PATH and MANPATH environment variables.

 As a workaround, install these files yourself, or set your MANPATH
 variable to include /opt/local/share/man.

 Assigning this bug to jmpp to ensure he migrates the fixes to 1.6 branch.
