I'd rather have them available but I don't want you to invent a new
top-level directory to put them in:

  % tar vtjf mingw-runtime-3.12-1.tar.bz2 | grep /man/
  tar: Record size = 8 blocks
  drwxr-xr-x ironhead/Administrators      0 2007-03-26 03:01:02 usr/man/
  drwxr-xr-x ironhead/Administrators      0 2007-03-26 03:04:38 usr/man/man3/
  -rw-r--r-- ironhead/Administrators   8956 2007-03-26 03:04:38 usr/man/man3/basename.3
  -rw-r--r-- ironhead/Administrators   8956 2007-03-26 03:04:37 usr/man/man3/dirname.3

These should be installed in usr/share/man and basename.3 should become
mingw-basename.3.  Ditto for dirname.
