README: Explain usage of prefix when installing 

Installing the man pages to /usr may not be the preferred option
when working on a system with a packaging system like apt or yum,
where /usr is reserved for packages and /usr/local or /opt is used
for user addons.

README should explain how to install to a path different to /usr.

Install by copying to your favourite location.

"make install prefix=/install/path".
"make" will move the pages from this package that are older than
the already installed ones to a subdirectory `not_installed',
then remove old versions (compressed or not),
