 Well, I presume someone has to write the .man file in order for rman
 to convert it?

 There's a conditional en Imake.tmpl:

 #ifndef BuildHtmlManPages
 #ifdef RmanCmd
 #define BuildHtmlManPages YES
 #else
 #define BuildHtmlManPages NO
 #endif
 #endif

 and BuildHtmlManPages is not defined anywhere else (that matters).  I
 guess I need to define BuildHtmlManPages as NO in site.def...
 correction, I guess you need to define BuildHtmlManPages as NO in
 site.def, the problem is compiling pacakges breaks unless the
 maintainers add a .man file or a '#define BuildHtmlManPages' to their
 Imakefiles.

 BTW, shouldn't host.def be a conffile?
