I finished this work today and it will be uploaded as
http://www.linux.zp.ua/mc/mc.1.ru.in.gz  Also I plan to sent this manual 
page to Russian Team
of Free Translation Project <tt chg ru>

mc.hlp.ru does it.

I also like doc/ru/mc.1.in, but as far as I know patch can't create 
absent directory,
so it will be hard to make patches.  And I leave all of automake staff 
to you, sorry.

Also %{var} macro and smbfs are not documented in mc.1.in but in mc.hlp.ru.
history and hotlist files are not documented too.

There is too many manual work.  My sed script can't differ .PP, .IP and .TP.

BTW man2hlp has some problems with cyrillic.  Sometimes it eats 
whitespaces between words
and  does not split long lines.
