diff to ipcs.1

The ipcs(1) manual page has long contained a comment saying "This manual page is woefully incomplete, because it does not at all attempt to explain the information printed by ipcs."

I just committed a patch to NetBSD's ipcs.1 that seeks to rectify this:
http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/usr.bin/ipcs/ipcs.1.diff?r1=1.20&r2=1.21

Attached is an adjusted diff for FreeBSD, should you wish to merge this as well.
