+The paths to some programs get written into man's files. Unfortunately, the
+configure script picks the last location in PATH rather than the first
+where a program is found. By appending /usr/bin:/bin to PATH for the
+./configure command, we make sure that man doesn't use the /static versions
+of our programs.</para>
