- i seem to recall man-db not supporting '.so' search paths correctly:

- man/man5/foo1.5:.so man5/moo1.5
- man/man5/cow.5:.so man1/pig.1
The latter two forms are supported, but the first isn't. I don't know of
a standard for this, but we could either look in the same directory as
the including file, or we could do some kind of more complete search
through all manual page hierarchies.
I've partially fixed this upstream for 2.5.3:

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.
