neqn fix applied in neqn.sh v1.2 

man fix not applied because first person who read manpage write 
it to disk in his encoding (namely Latin1 or KOI8-R) which may 
prevent other users to read it. 

man needs special option to specify encoding to each manpath component 
in /etc/manpath.config file, something like 

MANDATORY_MANPATH       /usr/share/man koi8-r 

to specify default encoding in per-manpath basis
