nmh manpages should be in this general form:
-.TH COMP %manext1% "%nmhdate%" MH.6.8 [%nmhversion%]
+.TH COMP %manext1% "DATE" "%nmhversion%"
.\"
.\" %nmhwarning%
.\"
None
---------------------------------------
+The DATE in the .TH macro should reflect the most recent non-trivial
+update to the content of the manpage; formatting changes don't count.

+ 01/02/04
