Application to install man pages.

Application to install man pages.

[Evan Carroll]

This is a one liner but might help for simply a quick install of the
git manpages.

I was also wondering if it might be useful to have a command in the
master branch of the git repo that switches branches and installs the
man pages.. possibly as run in the makefile if .git exists then switch
branches, and run install_man.sh. Just an idea.

Isn't this covered by the "make -C Documentation quick-install"?
Which is what "make quick-install-doc" does in the top level Makefile.
