general
The items listed in the NAME section of a man page should be useful as an argument to the man command - in other words, there should be an installed man page for everything listed under NAME.

Errors are due to either typos in the NAME section of various pages, or to the relevant man pages not being linked and installed.

There's a webrev at http://cr.illumos.org/~webrev/ptribble/11586/

Build and packaging clean. Test script no longer shows the errant entries.

    If we're going through and trying to clean these up, why aren't we cleaning it up to the actual request for bold as in the .B macro?
    1. Good point. It's habit, I guess. If I was going to do that I would do it properly, which would be a lot more work to catch all the occurrences.

    This is a case I'm not sure of, since we're basically using it to say "Hey, mailwrapper isn't where you'd expect!"

    Do we have that somewhere else?

    1. Added a FILES section here, so that the maybe unexpected installed location is recorded.
