So when we install packages like the X11 man pages in /usr/X11/man, we
would need to have them add a property to the windex service?

Is the system default property list going to contain just /usr/share/man
or all the places man pages come by default?

As long as you're in makewhatis, can you throw a "-u" after sort and
fix 4858166 (makewhatis should remove duplicate windex entries) too?

Thanks for tackling this long standing pain in Solaris.
