Re: Cygwin manpages clobbered

Hello,

I'm using stock Cygwin 1.7.18-1, and tried to read manpages about Cygwin
path conversion routines, cygwin_conv_path() et al.  The output does not
appear formatted properly, e.g. DESCRIPTION goes as a single paragraph,
but clearly is supposed to have some list formatting for the CCP bits
and errors.  It's still readable but...  well, messy.

WFM.  Perhaps check some of the 'man' environment variables.
MANPAGER is a common one to have problems with.  Perhaps something
has changed in your '/etc/man.conf' too?
