Revamp semantics for `missing help2man' and manpage distribution. Previously, `missing help2man' would create a missing man page containing an error message, and exit 1. This does not play well with `make': the next run will see this particular man page as being up to date, and will only error out on the next generated man page, if any; repeat until all pages are done. This patch changes `missing' to exit successfully in this case, but `make dist' will ensure that no such man pages are packaged. * lib/missing: Exit successfully even if we create a replacement page due to missing help2man. * automake.in (make_paragraphs): Define %HAVE-MANS% to be true if this makefile deals with man pages. * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): If %INSTALL-MAN% and %HAVE-MANS%, check that no man page in $(MANS) contains the replacement text from `missing'. * tests/man4.test: New test. * tests/Makefile.am: Update. * NEWS: Reorder a bit, update. * THANKS: Update.
