Actually, that's already happening much of the time.  Rev 1.33 of
src/gnu/usr.bin/man/man/Makefile (2001/01/15, in RELENG_5 and newer)
turned off making man setuid by default, so it'll only make catpages
when run as root anyway.

Me, I solve it for base system manpages by having /usr mounted
read-only.   8-}
