The manpages now source a shared file "../Project". Nothing in the makefiles installs this file, so the Acknowledgements sections of each manpage is empty. This shared file seems to need some re-thinking. Nobody is going to want some generically file named "Project" installed into their /usr/man (or whatever) hierarchy.
Perhaps it should be man8/ldap_misc.8 or something, so that at least it has an identifiable name and isn't in the .../man directory.

What about modifying Makefile's so that Acknowledgements get replaced inside the man pages at install?

My bad. This should be replaced with a Makefile sed s/@ACK@/.../.
