Looks like we need a symlink:
http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#USRLOCALSHARE1

The below patch would work and would link /usr/local/share/man ->
../man (aka /usr/local/man). This is acceptable under the FHS, and
although I would probably prefer the symlink go the other way, this
change will prevent any problems from changing an existing possibly
non-empty directory into a symlink, so is the much easier route.

I didn't apply this in SVN, I will wait for some feedback.
