Hi!

You might know, that autoconf 2.60 was released and more and more
projects uses it.

There is one important change in 2.60 - mandir and infodir
now point by default to ${prefix}/share/man and ${prefix}/share/info
accordingly, that differs slightly from FreeBSD mtree. So we need
to add --mandir=${PREFIX}/man and --infodir=${PREFIX}/info to
configure args.

Since older versions of autoconf support --mandir and --infodir
args what about adding CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--mandir=${PREFIX}/man
--infodir=${PREFIX}/info to bsd.port.mk by default?

This will not affect current ports at all and simplify port upgrading
in feature.
