FWIW cygport's postinstall strip stage now looks for executable files 
without any extension and checks to see if they are possibly .exe's, in 
which case they are stripped (causing the suffix to be added).  Not a 
perfect fix, but it catches most of these cases.

I'm sorry to hear that.  Imake isn't so much traditional as downright 
ancient. :-)

SystemManDirectory is defined to /usr/share/man in cygwin.cf, so I'm not 
sure why you are seeing this.  In any case, cygport will automatically 
move /usr/man to /usr/share/man.
