Simply put: any file which is different from what it would be without
the dtrace patch, or would have had to change if this was applied
separately.  For example the man page, but not (I think) the
Makefile.sfw.

I don't think this is very important though; better add too many than
too few checkin comments.

For PostgreSQL, "8.2" or "8.3" are considered major version numbers
and the man pages refer to those. I was not referring to the name of
the man page, but the version number mentied in it.

The postgres_83(5) man page refers to version 8.3, not 8.3.1 or
8.3.3.  But the mysql_51 man page refers explicitly to version 5.1.25
instead of just 5.1.

So, if 5.1 is updated to minor version 5.1.26, the man page has to be
updated too even if there's no other change.
