Gentlemen,

IMHO, the doman function should be able to detect that blah.1 goes into
/usr/share/man/man1 whereas blah.1x should go into /usr/X11R6/man/man1

thanks.

How's this: http://gentoo.twobit.net/portage/doman/
The doman.test shows variable flow.

doman blah.1
--> Installs into /usr/share/man/man1

doman blah.1x
--> Installs into /usr/X11R6/man/man1

doman -kde blah.1
--> Installs into /opt/kde/man/man1

doman -kde blah.1x
--> Installs into /usr/X11R6/man/man1

doman blah.1 blah.1x -kde kde.4 tcl.N
blah.1 -> /usr/share
blah.1x -> /usr/X11R6
kde.4 -> /opt/kde
tcl.N -> /opt/kde (wrong place... but it's an example.)

doman tcl.N -kde blah.1 -gnome foo.3 bar.6x
doman -kde blah.1 -gnome foo.3 -- tcl.N
blah.1 -> /opt/kde
foo.3 -> /opt/gnome
tcl.N -> /usr/share
bar.6x -> /usr/X11R6

I think this is taken care of by now. :)
