I guess RHEL is not a sane distribution, then.  :)  pandoc was abandoned
in favor of ghc-pandoc, and RHEL does not ship a haskell compiler.  It
would make RHEL packaging considerably easier if the generated man pages
continued to be part of the upstream git tree.  If that's not acceptable,
then I can work around the problem, but it will be a pain.  At the very
least, please make generation of the man pages optional via configure.

Thanks!
Jeff
