Ok, so I didn't want to wait for the weekend :)  Two issues (at least
for me):

1. man pages being preprocessed.  Not sure when this changed, but it
seems xorg's imake rules do this by default on linux now.  Lazy
programmers, sigh.  Attached is a patch for nas that should make them
stop.  Please try it.

2.  After I made this change, the man pages were generated properly
again.  However, I also had the kubuntu nas-devel package installed,
which supplies gzip compressed (and broken) man pages.  I removed this
package.  Then after building nas:

man install
then 
make install.man

'man AuStartFlow' and friends look correct again.

And to be sure, I then rebuilt nas again from scratch with the
installed dev bits I'd just compiled and installed.  Man pages seem
fine still.  Yay.

Let me know what you find.

Q:  How many IBM CPU's does it take to do a logical right shift?
A:  33.  1 to hold the bits and 32 to push the register.
