Return to man.conf CVS log

Up to [local] / src / etc

When using the _default search path with _subdir,
first sort by manual section (1, 8, 6, 2, 3, ...),
then by manual tree (share, X11R6, local)
and only for ties prefer cat over man.

For example, this avoids that /usr/local/man/cat7/roff.0
overrides /usr/share/man/man7/roff.7.
