Or Vixie is. The man pages which ship with BIND will only work as-is
on a BSD 4.4 system, as they use the mandoc macro set.
In the past, when we've imported things from NetBSD, we've translated
the man pages into the man macros. Obviously, this is a lot of work
both initially and when we import changes. We're going to look into
making mandoc man pages work on Athena platforms (probably having to
add a .so line to the man pages, but that's much simpler than
translating them), but it hasn't been a super high priority.
