Ewww, "man -s". Why can't we make our make to accept e.g. "make 3f ..." instead
(IF this is really necessary to extend man-categories, which i do not like
anyways).

My $0.02 on howtos: Why not put them in /usr/share/doc in some format? It would
be ok for users to just have plain ASCII files, I don't see a need to put them
in ms, man or whatever format. (Assuming noone wants pretty-printed
documentation ;)
