The interface will be changed only if a dcraw.c update need it. In fact thos 
depending of change on dcraw command line options. Normally, the options 
compatibility must be respected, but this is not the case with dcraw. For 
example, between 8.41 and 8.42 an option have changed completly of scence !

This is the problem with dcraw author. Image with all script witch use dcraw : 
it a nightmare...

the manpage is for me, for future update of dcraw.c, to compare command line 
options. If you want uninstall the man page, fine for me and fix the 
Makefile.am, but do not remove the file from svn.
