Respect MANPATH and/or -M switch
I keep man pages of other (usually remote) systems on my local machine and would like to read (and search!) them using mangl without having to type the path to the path on the file system.
From man manpage for quick reference:
-M path Override the list of directories to search for manual pages. The supplied path must be a colon (‘:’) separated list of directories. This option also overrides the environment variable MANPATH and any directories specified in the man.conf(5) file.
MANPATH Override the standard search path which is either specified in man.conf(5) or the default path. The format of MANPATH is a colon (‘:’) separated list of directories. Invalid directories are ignored. Overridden by -M, ignored if -l is specified. If MANPATH begins with a colon, it is appended to the standard path; if it ends with a colon, it is prepended to the standard path; or if it contains two adjacent colons, the standard path is inserted between the colons.
