dist man pages and non-standard programs

the current man/Makefile.am does not create and distribute man pages for non-
standard programs like arch, hostname, and su.  this is a pain when working 
with cross-compiling as the install target will attempt to run the binary and 
generate the man page which will of course fail.

a simple workaround seems to be that when generating the dist tarball, run 
configure and enable all the optional programs before running `make dist` ...
