just tried building from cvs and the man dir failed on me ... this is because 
default behavior is --disable-man and since i don't have any man pages 
already generated, i get:
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/shadow/man'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `limits.5', needed by `all-am'.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/shadow/man'

attached patch adds an error message so people dont have to go digging through 
source to find out what's up:
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/shadow/man'

Error: you need to run configure with '--enable-man'
       in order to regenerate man pages.

make[1]: *** [limits.5] Error 1
