That's pretty much what I did for my own version of this; all the pathnames of commands that I knew had man pages in /usr/[share]/man ( /usr/bin, /sbin, /usr/sbin, /usr/ucb) were mapped to /usr/share/man; all others used a derived name (with share/man tried first, then just man). May take a bit more tweaking to get it as good as possible, but it pretty much works. For the heck of it, in ksh93 (or dtksh), I'd tried a PATH.set discipline function that recalculates MANPATH any time PATH is reset. That only works within ksh93 of course, but I thought it was kind of neat.
