And here's the other part:

* src/whatis.c (main): Move locale manpath expansion to ...
(locale_manpath): ... here (new function).
(suitable_manpath): New function.
(do_whatis): If a page contains a slash and is a path to an
executable on $PATH, then look up its base name only in
appropriate manual hierarchies.
(search): Pass current manpath entry to do_whatis.
* src/tests/whatis-1: New file.
* src/tests/Makefile.am (ALL_TESTS): Add whatis-1.
* NEWS: Document this.
(I deliberately made this change only for whatis, and not for apropos.
This is because whatis is documented as taking manual page names as
arguments, while apropos is documented as taking keywords (which are
regular expressions by default but may be in other formats). Extending
the domain of exact manual page names to include executables that have
associated manual pages seems fairly safe to me, but I don't feel
comfortable with fiddling with the interpretation of the more general
search strings that you give to apropos.)
