Urk.  This is actually a fairly big deal since none of the manpage
hyperlinks for 5.4 worked.  :-(

I hacked around the problem for now so that these links should work
(except possibly for links to the OpenSSL manpages), but someone on
doceng@ really should check the changes I made on www.freebsd.org to be
sure I didn't mess something up, and then implement the correct fix
according to the normal release engineering procedures.

I'll post privately to doceng@ and re@ the two changes I made.  (They
are not particularly sensitive, but the information is only useful to a
handful of people.)

Thanks for pointing this out!

Bruce.
