I've checked them.

The default manpages should be stored in /usr/man/{man1,man3,...}.
So, replaced "en" to ".", you can install manpages in default location
of Samba archive(docs/manpages/*) to the default location of system
manpages (i.e. /usr/man).

Ok.

It is better to check specified source directory
(i.e. docs/manpages/ja) does not exists, I think.

It works.

- comma delimiter (--with-manpages-langs="ja,en") does not work but
  space delimiter works.

- This is important. For future i18n expansion, storing resource like
  manpages/{en,ja, ... } is not good. In my experience storing 
  ja/{manpages,htmldocs, ...}, pl/{manpages, htmldocs, ...}
  ./{manpages, htmldocs} is better.

  In the latter way we can separate resources of each language version
  easily.

  Of course it's a design matter. Your way also works well.

|-ALL_LINGUAS="en ja"
|+ALL_LINGUAS="en ja pl"

This change is concerned with gettext(), has nothing to do with
installing manpages. please make source/po/pl.po to work the change:-)

And I think syncronizing ALL_LINGUAS and installing manpage is better.



The following patch is to modify configure.in as I said.
