In progress:
* store .so link in the db.
* reduce wasted/duplicated text stored within the databases.
10-20% database size reduction so far.
* execute pipelines inline rather than using the shell.
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.
* use zlib for gzipped pages rather than forking gzip.
* look at work done by SuSE and Andries.
Case-insensitive lookup transition:
* Solaris layout is broken.
* Need to make sure pointers trigger an exact-case lookup [done for whatis].
Apparently db3's compatibility API is, er, less than compatible.
(Specifically, it isn't possible to write correct error-handling code that
works in the compatibility API, nor that works in both db2 and db3.) I
suppose I have to write a db_newbdb.c now.
Need to clean up the code that decides where cat files go (see display*()).
Debian bug #129575 is difficult to fix otherwise.
