This was a deliberate change and I'm not quite sure how to improve the
situation.
I did not want to make rst2man a hard requirement for ptxdist. So all
tarball releases contain the man-page.

I suppose we could create the man page under certain circumstances during
'make'. What should the condition be? If rst2man is found? When working
with a ptxdist git checkout?

Regards,
Michael
