+Pointer manpages
+
+       Certain manpages are shared between one or more programs
+       (such as folder/folders). The secondary program should
+       have a man page that only contains:
+
+               .so man1/folder.1
+
+       Also, add this manpage to the appropriate section in Makefile.in
