New SysV init version

[Jesse Smith]

Hi Mark,

This was not a deliberate change to move the location of the manual 
pages, just where we ended up with the patch for setting the mandir 
variable.

Which means either mandir can be set by the build environment or I can 
accept a patch upstream to tweak where mandir points by default. Though 
in that case we may end up in a back-and-forth with different 
distributions wanting to adjust mandir.
