Since this is no real PR - can it be closed, or does it still
need to trash the GNATS-db?

I mean, we are aware of the fact that not every tool has a manpage,
there is no need of a PR to remind us.

State Changed
From-To: open->closed

A number of these have been fixed over time, and most of the rest 
are from third party packages, and most are pretty obvious 
what they refer to.  Most will at least display a man page if 
you actually type 'man whatever'. 

The few that are left after that are not worth pursuing.
