Is there a GNU version of UNIX program "man"? I have to live at present with
very antiquated version of 4.2BSD man. It does not know about MANPATH, hence
I'm forced to throw all GNU man entries into mann. That's most inconvenient.
I'd rather have a separate man directory altogether for GNU, X, and various other
large systems. I've searched fileutils and binutils and, of course, prep.ai.mit.edu,
but there was nothing that would look like "man".
