 1.38  30-Nov-2020  kamil man.conf(5): Drop support for .me files

The .me troff macros are unused for any known man-pages.
 1.37  01-Mar-2018  snj /usr/X11R6 has been empty on most NetBSD installations since 2008,
and the last few straggling ports dumped it in 2015. It's time to
prune references to /usr/X11R6 from our config files.
 1.36  25-Dec-2016  kim branches: 1.36.6;
Make precedence between {cat,man}[39]{,lua} logical:
- Search man3 right after cat3, before cat3lua (and man3lua).
- Search man9 right after cat9, before cat9lua (and man9lua).
 1.35  22-Dec-2013  dholland branches: 1.35.8;
Fix _crunch entries, which accidentally got changed from compression
operations to decompression operations nearly two years ago. They are
used only by catman(8), which we don't run any more, but they ought to
be correct anyway.
 1.34  25-Oct-2013  mbalmer add 3l/3lua and 9l/9lua man page sections
 1.33  25-Oct-2013  mbalmer _build rule for man pages with a .<number><letters> extension (.3tcl, .3am, .3lua, etc.)
 1.32  18-Jul-2013  christos PR/48061: NAKAJIMA Yoshihiro: wrong description about bzip2's suffix
 1.31  06-Oct-2012  wiz branches: 1.31.2;
Make mandb path configurable. makemandb (and related tools) use
the path from the _mandb variable from man.conf now.

Set _mandb in man.conf to same value as was used before.

From Abhinav Upadhyay <er.abhinav.upadhyay@gmail.com>.
 1.30  16-Feb-2012  joerg branches: 1.30.2;
Add entries for bzip2 and xz.
 1.29  14-Feb-2012  wiz branches: 1.29.2;
Obsolete /usr/share/man/cat3f that never contained any files, nor will it.
 1.28  07-Feb-2012  joerg Include argument in command line
 1.27  07-Feb-2012  joerg Kill one more invocation of tbl. Noticed by wiz
 1.26  07-Feb-2012  joerg Switch to using mandoc for formatting man pages as new default.
Stop building catpages by default.
 1.25  09-Jul-2010  christos branches: 1.25.6;
make sparc64 search for sparc man pages for now. It might be better in
the long run to choose a different name for shared drivers though. Fixes
PR/18273.
 1.24  04-Jun-2010  christos Add machine class manual paths. No manual pages have moved yet.
 1.23  17-Nov-2008  hubertf Also search /usr/X11R7, and do it before X11R6
 1.22  30-May-2006  christos branches: 1.22.20; 1.22.28;
Remove sendmail (approved by core)
 1.21  29-Jul-2001  wiz Undo last: glob(3) isn't used for _whatdb (yet?).
[broke e.g. installation of devel/netcdf]
 1.20  25-Jun-2001  lukem take advantage of glob(3) support when defining _whatdb
 1.19  31-Jul-2000  chuck actually make use of new features introduced in man.c (rev 1.23):
allow to specify relative paths for sections in man.conf - they are used
similarily to _subdir, but only when appropriate
 1.18  13-May-2000  wiz branches: 1.18.4;
remove obsolete /usr/X11 entries
 1.17  02-Aug-1999  mrg - use -msafer not -S; this is more portable and will work with any
nroff that has the "safer" macros installed.
- correct entry for ".me" that was broken in the previous.
 1.16  26-Jul-1999  tron Fix PR security/8069 differently:
Add a new option "-S" to "nroff" and use "nroff -S" instead of "groff -S"
because "nroff" adds some other (moderately useful and important) options
to the "groff" execution.
 1.15  26-Jul-1999  tron Use "groff -S -Tascii" instead of "nroff" to avoid security problems
if "man" is used by "root". Fixes PR security/8069 by Matthias Buelow.
 1.14  04-Apr-1999  dante Add "_crunch" section required by catman to crunch compressed cat pages.
 1.13  02-Jan-1999  tv Add sections `l' and `n' for pkg, X11, local. DTRT with manual pages
ending with `.n'. XXX: Does not DTRT for manual pages with
multi-character extensions (i.e. 3f) yet!
 1.12  16-Jul-1998  mycroft Sort the man page sections in a consistent order.
 1.11  16-Jun-1998  perry Remove references to obsolete directories, such as /usr/contrib,
/usr/old, /usr/X11R4, and others. Pointed out by jwise@unicast.com in
PR 5599
 1.10  02-Dec-1997  mrg add /usr/pkg/man
 1.9  27-Oct-1997  hubertf Also look in /usr/pkg/man for manpages.

 1.8  09-Oct-1997  mycroft branches: 1.8.2;

 1.7  04-Jan-1997  mrg add local, R5 and R6 whatis directories.
 1.6  17-Dec-1995  thorpej Look for section 9 (kernel) manpages. Pointed out by Erik Bertelsen

 1.5  16-Jan-1995  mycroft Remove misleading comment.
 1.4  07-Apr-1994  mycroft Add X11R6 to the default search list(s).

Be a bit more friendly to man pages using the roff .so command by
changing the current directory to the parent of the man -p entry, e.g.
/usr/share/man for /usr/share/man1.
Also handle hyphen replacement if it was used as plain input and no
backslash sequence was used at all in the line.
Add support for apropos -s like in the old apropos. Fix capitalisation.
Add note about optional quotation. From Abhinav Upadhyay.
Merge mandoc.h r1.99 and read.c 1.28 from upstream:
Add mparse_readmem, which allows application to run the parser directly
from memory, e.g. after de-compressing a document.
Add support for compressed man pages in all the usual formats.
Use mmap when dealing with plain files.
Add entries for bzip2 and xz.
