The roff build rule builds all of the roff files in a single command.
Previously, this was expressed as a multi-target rule, but since this
is equivalent to specifying a copy of the rule for each target, make
-jN could start up to N parallel instances of this command.  Fix this
by bottlenecking this rule through a single stamp file.

This also removes the unused man.stamp from CLEAN.

LGTM. This 'receipe' could be amended to recipe(?:)

I'm poking around in the Makefile, and don't understand why we're
touching ${MAN_ROFF_FILES} here.  Either they were just created by
Sphinx/rst2man, or we died with the @false.  I doubt Sphinx or
prerst2man.py are intelligent enough to not clobber the roff files if
their content hasn't changed, but I don't see a point in explicitly
bumping timestamps either.

I think I'll drop the ${MAN_ROFF_FILES} as part of the patch I'm
working on, but let me know if I'm just missing something.

Cheers,
Trevor

I think you're right.  I can't reconstruct why I touched
${MAN_ROFF_FILES} here.  Touching $@ obviously matters, but I think it
should be safe to drop the ${MAN_ROFF_FILES}.
