We made some extra changes to have a readable ocserv(8) man page using
mandoc(1)

1) the doc/Makefile.am assumes that sed is gnu sed. BSD sed behaves
differently and causes a different type of replacement

2) the autogen-erated man pages were only autogen'ed if their
../src/*def file was touched. This was only the case for ocserv.8.

3) the autogen'ed .8 files had the '.NOP ' sequence, which mandoc
did not understand, and it subsequently ignore the .NOP lines.

4) autogen depends on bash (!)
