The typical solution in other autoconf'd software is to put the manpage
in the toplevel directory, as Jamie wrote:

I can't remember the memcache layout, but the other solution I've used
is to do:

in toplevel Makefile.am:
 SUBDIRS = doc
in doc/Makefile.am:
 man_MANS = memcached.1
 # not quite sure why this is necessary with the above, but:
 EXTRA_DIST = memcached.1
