Don't know for FSF's man program, but if you'd use the Cygwin one, which
you can find on ftp.franken.de, you would have to put your man pages
either in /usr/man, in /usr/local/man or in any other directory you had
told man through man.conf. If you want to use this man program, please
first read and understand the corresponding readme file!
