We should keep manpages out of there when possible. E.g. all the pthread manpages should move next to libthr (now that we only have one thread library). I would also like to eventually move kernel manpages into sys (perhaps sys/man, though it would be really nice to put driver manpages into sys/dev/foo if possible). -- John Baldwin
