Um, Warner, the point is that right now, if Greg copies an installed
_source_ manual page from a FreeBSD system, he gets an empty Os macro:
.Os
If we do as he suggests, he'll get a populated Os macro:
.Os FreeBSD 4.5

Why? It's just a little Makefile magic. We don't actually add the
macro, just an argument, and only in the case where there are no
arguments, e.g.
s/^\.Os$/.Os FreeBSD 4.5/g
Ciao,
