[openib-general] libibverbs: can't compile more than once due to man3 symbolic links

[Jeff Squyres]

Blah -- disregard; I read the mail too quickly and didn't look at the  
actual Makefile.am to see what you were really asking.

FWIW, the "install" app, by default, removes things before copying in  
the new target.  So putting a manual "rm -f" in here, while klunky,  
has precedent and will make it work.
