[Mono-devel-list] ilasm man page

[Daniel Morgan]

Nevertheless, mono/man has man pages for:
 mono
 mcs
 secutil
 cert2spc
 sqlsharp
 mono-config
 monostyle

Most of those are found in the mcs cvs module because they are Managed.
Whereas most unmanaged stuff will be in mono cvs module.
Even though they are two separate modules in cvs, they are considered one
package.

man pages only get distributed with packages (at least on Debian) if
they're provided with the program's sources (ie. in mcs/ilasm). This is
because mono/ and mcs/, although closely related, are regarded as
separate sources. It's conceivable that someone might want to install
your ilasm without installing Mono (eg. for use with Rotor or
Portable.NET).

On the other hand, the man page for mcs is in mono/, not mcs/. I believe
the RPMs work around this by providing a single monolithic package, but
that's not really sustainable.
