A problem with this scheme is that we won't be able to add
man pages that have the same name but live in different sections.

Those are rare, but do exist, e.g. 'passwd': passwd.1 describes
the command, while passwd.5 describes the passwd file format.
Try these commands on a linux box:
	man 1 passwd
	man 5 passwd

This commit is a great start nevertheless, but I guess in the long run
getting the real man command to work would be a worthwhile effort.
