I've partially fixed this upstream for 2.5.3:
Mon Nov 17 00:06:28 GMT 2008 Colin Watson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Make bare .so includes (i.e. ".so foo.1" rather than ".so
man1/foo.1") work, although only within the same manual page
hierarchy for now. Reported by Mike Frysinger; partially fixes
Debian bug #503472.
* src/zsoelim.l (zsoelim_open_file): Attempt to handle bare .so
includes using look_for_file.
* src/Makefile.am (zsoelim_SOURCES): Add globbing.c, globbing.h, and
util.c.
