I use the gsoelim command from the groff package to resolve all of the
includes, and install the output. I do not install the include files at
all. The makefile fragments look like this, although you will need to
modify them to suit the particular project:
$(mandir)/man1/%.1: man1/%.1
gsoelim %.1 > $@
Advantages:
- there are no include directives in the installed .gz files
- you don't have to worry about whether or not to keep the .so file
uncompressed, and
- there is no ambiguity as to whether or not a .so file is a shared
library or something else.
Disadvantages:
- line numbers will be wrong in error messages from groff when
processing broken installed man pages.
