I was just building lcms2 for the first time (on MacOSX 10.6, in preparation for making a Fink package) and, while building and installing went without problem, I noticed that from the 5 binary executables jpgicc, linkicc, psicc, tificc, transicc, only 2 had their man pages installed: jpgicc.1 and tificc.1.
The other man pages are there in the source directories, but they are not getting installed, their Makefiles do not have code for it.
I think changing in utils/xxx/ Makefile.am, for xxx in linkicc psicc transicc

-xxx_MANS = xxx.1
+man_MANS = xxx.1

and then running automake fixes this.

The man pages are from 2004, only their file names have been adapted to lcms2, in their text they use the old (lcms1) command names.
