Ah...now is there a way to say "find all files that are dupes
of each other and (hard-or-sym) link 'em together"?
From "man catman":
BUGS
man(1) is a setuid program. Be careful that user `man' has write permis-
sions to the catman directories. Catman does not check for any `.so' in
man page sources. Use hard or symlinks to avoid redundant formatted man
pages.
I presume this means that it *doesn't* use hard or symlinks on its own.
