That should be easy enough to do.

Actually, you can. I do this myself when building the cat pages:
env mansectsu=8 ./configure
Or if you use an sh-like shell you should be able to skip the 'env'
prefix.

Yes, at some point I need to update the configure stuff and bring
it out of the Byzantine. I don't use autoheader or automake at the
moment.
