Thanks for beating me to this.  I was going to do this myself after
hunting around a bit an noticing that nothing else does it this
way.  

I was thinking about changing all of the man pages that use hard-coded
limits to starting refering to then by the constant.  That will be
a mega-commit.

What kind of mdoc macros did you have in mind?  .Dv is how these should
be specified with mdoc currently, but I'm open to suggestions.
