[re-sending because I screwed it up the first time] Hi folks,
Mainly man page changes as usual, but also some build system changes to
support install-time rewriting of some man pages' table descriptions to
not use the 'x' column modifier extension of DWB 3.3 and GNU tbl.
I have submitted a GitHub pull request to Plan 9 from User Space tbl[1]
to make it ignore the 'x' column modifier with a warning, and tested it
with these changes. If my patch is not accepted, nothing bad should
happen; Plan 9 from User Space tbl will fail, ncurses's Autoconf test
CF_CHECK_TBL_X_OPTION will detect that fact, and the man pages will be
rewritten without the modifier.
As before, I won't be submitting the one marked "DO NOT SUBMIT"; it
merely marks a place where I locally ran "autoreconf-dickey -f". From a
patch sumission perspective, these produce only needless churn, and also
my copy of "autoreconf-dickey" is about 2 years older than Thomas's, so
such a commit would be doubly useless.
