   MANSEC directly mapped to sections of manual pages (for generating docs) and also to include files (for generating Fortran stuff) . So it served two slightly different purposes.

   Jed decided that things like da should have their own include file (not just be in petscdm.h just like petscpcmg.h. This broke the direct mapping for man page sections and include files. By introducing SUBMANSEC we can map to the include files again.
