Since mitsunaga-san has a ct.4 man page, I'm still thinking the
easiest thing to do is not install a symbolic link, but instead
install it with a note:
Historically, the driver for the Cronyx-Tau WAN adapters was
ct. This device name was changed to ctau to avoid conflicts
with the pc98 ct driver. The network device name for these
is 'ct'. Please see ctau(4) for the details for that device.
However, looking at man4.i386, it appaers that ct.4 is checked in, not
ctau.4, so here's what I'm proposing:
(1) We rename it in CVS, likely with a cvs remove/add.
(2) We fix the Makefile to reflect the new name, but with no link.
(3) mitsunaga-san checked in the ct.4 he has for pc98, with the
(addition of the above note).
This should alievate the problem, while allowing current users of ct
(both sets) minimal disruption. The ctau folks may have to look at
two man pages, and the pc98 folks should have to change little or
nothing.
The more drastic alternatives would likely be more heavy handed.
