Subject: install(site|vendor)man*dir should fallback to installman*dir
install(site|vendor)man*dir was introduced to MakeMaker before it was introduced to Config.pm. As a result, older Perls might not have it. The current behavior is to take a guess based on SITEPREFIX. This seems to cause more trouble than its worth. If it can't find a setting in Config it should revert back to the old behavior, use installman*dir.
