A side effect of moving the port to track the advanced release
series is that those web man pages should now be better in sync
with the programs provided by the port.

We could fetch the HTML documentation from the SVN repo at the same
revision as the release code and roll it into the distfile, but we
don't even have an HTML reader in base any longer...
