        I've been playing with the release of 17.1 tools.  I've tried to get
man to work and it's having a problem finding things because of the new
directory sturcture.  If I downloaded the source code to the development
tools, ie gcc, g++, man, etc. and recompile to the new directory structure?
Is there an environment variable I can set so that all occurances of like
/usr/bin in these configure scripts so that they will know what to do?  If
not, I suggest in the next major revison that the structure go back to how
it was before with the /usr/bin, /usr/lib, etc.
