At present, all of our man pages are designed as foo(local) instead of
being divided into sections of the manual by purpose.
This is broken. It makes it harder to keep the manual pages
up-to-date, harder to find a man page when you're not sure it appears
in the SIPB locker, and harder to make updates to software from
off-site without screwing up the manual pages.
Does anyone have any objections to my reorganizating the manual page
tree into sections, and making as many of the man pages as possible
links to the source directories instead of actual copies of the man
page, which could get out of synch with the copies in the source
directories?
If you do have objections, please explain why.
