I did not apply this patch. Indeed, man pages are anyway removed at the
end of the build, so we don't really care that much if they are
installed. Of course, if there's a convenient option to disable
installing manpages we can use it (and upstream has added one following
your bug report, and therefore once we upgrade to a newer release that
has this option, we can use it). But when we don't go through great
lengths to disable manpages otherwise, *except* if building the
manpages requires some additional tools that would bring in extra
dependencies into the build.

So I've marked your patch as Rejected. Feel free to use the new option
to disable manpages at the next version bump of tio.

Thanks!

Thomas
