Hi,

I have posted this issue before, but have had no real response from the
pfTeam on it. I wrote a script to convert the manpages. What it basically
does is strip out the C pages (who uses C anymore anyways :) of which
there is a C++ equivalent and rename them without to the filename the C or
C++ part.

You can find it on http://www.spookje.net/pfMan.sh

If anybody has a nicer way, like letting linux man behave more like the
IRIX man for example, please let me know
