           Summary: man page installation completely broken in multiple ways
           Product: Slony-I

The slonik man pages installation doesn't work.

The first reason is that the makefile rule looks like this:

        for file in man7/*.7; do \
           echo $$file \
           $(INSTALL_DATA) $$file $(DESTDIR)$(mandir)/man7/$$file || exit;\
        done

which just echoes the install command, but doesn't execute it.  There is a
semicolon missing on the echo line.

The second problem is that the man page file names contain spaces, so you need
to add some quoting, like

$(INSTALL_DATA) "$$file" $(DESTDIR)$(mandir)/man7/"$$file"

The third problem is that install-sh doesn't support installing files with
spaces in their names at all.  So either you need to get a new or different
install program or generate man pages without spaces in their names.
