We generally try to avoid installing a file and then moving it to
another location. It's inefficient, and can cause problems with some
security measures. Moreover, it doesn't prevent an overwrite of the
existing manpage if motif is already installed. A solution would be
to use the --enable-man-suffix configure option, to rename all of the
manpages. This would help prevent other conflicts, and make it clear
what manpages are associated with tcl. This should be done uniformly,
for all of the tcl/tk ports.
