After EXTRA_DIST commit man files are not following --prefix

After EXTRA_DIST commit man files are not following --prefix

[Ruslan N. Marchenko]

Hi,

After
commit 8ddf2e8466abf785d7ffa3da44cf7ce8791c6297
Author: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org>
Date:   Mon Aug 24 14:56:11 2009 -0700

    All manual pages need a special EXTRA_DIST statement

man pages are not following --prefix
I'm doing
./bootstrap-configure --prefix=/opt/bluez --disable-audio
and then
make install
which results into
...

I.e. i have specific directory in /opt/bluez and compiling bluez not
from root. But man files are tending to be installed to system prefix.

Looking forward to reading yours.

just use ./configure --mandir. Why the prefix detection is broken is
unclear to me. Maybe the dist_man_MANS causes more problems actually.
