BTW - check with the docs people - last I heard, the tools used for manpages
for most of the consolidations couldn't handle section names starting with
capital letters.   (X gets away with it because we bring in the man pages in
pure nroff form and export as is, instead of using the SGML intermediate form
that ON/JDS/etal. use, so aren't affected by the limitations of the SGML
tools.)
