Files Installed on Linux (ttftool), plus other fun bits

Hello, friends! Am writing because of a question I ran across while
making Slackware packages of the latest Abi releases. I asked Hub on
the channel, and he wasn't sure about this, so suggested that I post to
the mailing list. That would be this. :)

 From the results of CheckInstall ( a program that watches files
installed by make install, copies them to a temp directory, and puts
them into a slack, deb, or fc/redhat package), I see that "make
install" is placing two files:

-rwxr-xr-x ryan/users 1062 2004-08-08 19:47:38 usr/bin/ttfadmin.sh
-rwxr-xr-x ryan/users 49084 2004-08-08 19:47:38 usr/bin/ttftool

that appear to be of curious origin. For some reason, the install (as
su'ed root, prefix /usr) is putting these "ttftool" files in the bin
directory, and with the ownership of my unpriv'ed user, at that. Hub
thinks they may be holdovers from pre-fontconfig days. Anybody know: a)
if I should be including these in my package, and furthermore b) if they
even should be installed anymore?

Also, when building my package, the folks at linuxpackages.net, a
Slackware package place, informed me that the package of Abi on the
Slack 10 cd installed libwpd and fribidi as well. I was under the
impression that these files (at least libwpd) were compiled right into
AbiWord. As I look at the files that I unpackaged from that official
package, I see many .h files in usr/include/libwpd-1/libwpd/
usr/include/fribidi/, the two ttftool files, plus:
usr/doc/fribidi-0.10.4 and libwpd-0.6.6
usr/bin/fribidi
usr/bin/fribidi-config
usr/bin/wpd2{html|raw|text}
usr/lib/libfribidi.{a|la}
usr/lib/libwpd-1.{a|la}
usr/lib/pkgconfig/fribidi.pc and libwpd-1.pc
Should all these files be packaged with AbiWord?

Also, one last thing: The Slackware installer includes an abiword.8.gz
man page. This is not created by "make install". Is this an official
part of the source tree, or a Slackware add-in? Should we be installing
a man page? If we should, where is it?

Thanks for your help! Hopefully I'll have nice packages of both trees
of Abi for Slackware 10 soon!
