Re: new modules for Unicode normalization

Hi Pádraig, Bo, On 2008-05-08, when I mentioned the possibility to have a filter program that reads from standard input and writes the canonicalized output to standard output, you liked this idea:

Re: ls -s documentation misleading

dist man pages and non-standard programs

the current man/Makefile.am does not create and distribute man pages for non- standard programs like arch, hostname, and su. this is a pain when working with cross-compiling as the install target will attempt to run the binary and generate the man page which will of course fail. a simple workar
