On the SVR3.x systems around here, the preformatetd man pages are in
/usr/catman/?_man/man?. In the UNIX distribution, there are u_man, p_man,
a_man, and we use to add l_man. Each one of these directories contains
an arbitrary number of man?'s (man1, man2, man3 etcetc). Furthermore,
if the filename of the man page ends with ".z", the file is assumed to
be compacted using System V's "pack" command.
