AFAIK there is nothing wrong with having a configure.in.in in your applicat=
ion=20
subdir, so just readd it and make sure it does not clash with the main=20
configure.in.in.

Not yet. Do think that would be a good idea? I thought they would go=20
underneath the application main directory as they normally would.

But do we need to centralize everything? I think that we should only=20
centralize where we want to reach certain groups within the KDE Project=20
(i18n). I do not know if centralizing distribution specific directories wou=
ld=20
have any benefits.

I don't know that to be honest :)
I think the question is: Do we want man files to go into the translation=20
pipeline (provided the translators are interested in translating the=20
corresponding app that is...) or should we keep those seperated in favour o=
f=20
"proper" KDE style documentation?=20
If we want the latter than just add it underneath your main app directory=20
(probably in a subdir) and make sure it installs correctly.
