* store .so link in the db.
* reduce wasted/duplicated text stored within the databases.
10-20% database size reduction so far.
* pipeline library:
- make COMMAND_FUNCTION child reentrant, so it doesn't have to be a
subprocess; will save lots of forks of zlib children in mandb
In need of attention:
* clear up the use of troff and/or groff
* complete configuration file redesign to allow better dynamic determination
of programs/paths/extensions etc.
* multiple debug levels?
Case-insensitive lookup transition:
* Solaris layout is broken.
* Need to make sure pointers trigger an exact-case lookup [done for whatis].
