BTW, our gnu man is out of date. FreeBSD use version 1.1, current
version is 1.4f (or higher).

>From the README:

======================================================================
For man-1.4:

Corrected some misprints in man.1. Now also search for manpages *.man.
Added use of message catalogs. (Just as an exercise.)

man-1.4c: Added fixes by gentzel@2.340.ENET.dec.com, Pauline Middelink
  and others. Added suid handling. Added TIOCGWINSZ.
man-1.4d: Added Polish man pages (Rafal Maszkowski, rzm@oso.chalmers.se).
  Added -W option (Marty Leisner, leisner@sdsp.mc.xerox.com).
man-1.4e: Added French man pages (Rene COUGNENC, rene@renux.frmug.fr.net),
  MANWIDTH, MANPAGER, -K option. Fixed grep problem.
======================================================================
For man-1.3:

Changed MANPATH handling, added locale, added 1.2 changes (unaware of
the existence of 1.2), bugfixes. Now merged both versions.

Andries E. Brouwer - aeb@cwi.nl
=======================================================================
For man-1.2:

I seem to have taken over man for the moment. I added support for run-
time determination of compressors and expanders, plus a couple of bug
fixes.
