Separating tech/ and user docs is on the TODO, the man page can stay
where it is IMHO, it is a user document.

OK, now I see what you mean.  This would indeed simplify the install
scripts, but not much.  Is this really worth the trouble?

How about converting mplayer.1 --> mplayer.1.html, linking to it from
index.html and putting it in the $DOCSDIR?
