That autotool path looks suspect. I don't think any of the autotools use that directory any more, after the package reorganization. Though I guess the old packages might need it. IMHO if a package needs something added to the MANPATH it should do it itself, it shouldn't be part of the base /etc/profile. Though you really should coordinate this with Charles Wilson to see what he thinks.
