One of the laments that came with my putback of PSARC/2007/688
(manwhich) was an annoyance that I have had for quite some time as
well - man -k doesn't work out of the box. This seems to be:

1224122 windex not created by install/upgrade

I have a proposed solution[1] using a transient smf service that runs
at boot time to and updates windex files only if they look like they
need to be updated.  Configuration of mandirs is done via service
properties.  Of course I worked on my solution before I found the bug
report that says "Fix is known", whatever that *really* means.

Comments are appreciated.
