I found it.

"man_alias.sed" is generated by the _install_ target, and nothing ever
cleans it--not "clean", and not "distclean".

It's not managed by make, but produced by a here document in the
configure script.

I suspect my problem will never happen to someone building from a clean
tree, but is there a straightforward way to make this less fragile?

Not to whine, but the ncurses install target does _so much_ work besides
just moving files to $DESTDIR--I'm uneasy with it.

Regards,
Branden
