+Subject: Makefile: separate manpages and utils install
+
+The installation of opkg-build man page introduces a host dependency
+on perl for the pod2man package to generate the man page.
+
+To allow the opkg-utils scripts to be installed separately from the
+manpages, break apart the install step into two install steps:
+install-utils and install-docs

When `make install` is run to install the opkg-utils scripts, it also invokes building of the man page for opkg-build. The generation of the man page requires `pod2man` executable which is a part of perl. Since buildroot does not support man pages in the host directory, patch the opkg-utils Makefile to separate the installation of man pages and utility scripts. With the options to install man pages and utils separately, only install the opkg-utils scripts.
