Michael Kerrisk 86e7d29168 Makefile: Fix html target bug
Switching into the man? subdirectories when running man2html(1)
caused a bug where ".so dir/page.n" links were misinterpreted
(because the directory prefix was interpreted with respect to
the current directory)i, and consequently, the link files
were not correctly rendered. There's no need to switch into the
subdirectories.

Installing and uninstalling
===========================
"make install" will copy these man pages to /usr/share/man/man[1-8].

To install to a path different from /usr, use
"make install prefix=/install/path".

"make remove" or "make uninstall" will remove any man page in this
distribution from its destination.  Use with caution, and remember to
use "prefix" if desired, as with the "install" target.

"make" or "make all" will perform "make uninstall" followed by "make
install".
