diff for some man.7 tweaks below. couple of questions:

*) openbsd doesn;t have a LIBRARY section. what is the best way to
reflect that? ingo?

*) (again ingo) how does this diff get committed?

*) unrelated, but i'm currently discussing the EXIT STATUS section with
daniel dickman:

	EXIT STATUS
        This section documents the command exit status for section
        1, 6, and 8 utilities.  Historically, this information was
        described in DIAGNOSTICS, a practise that is now discouraged.

says who? i mean, what leads you to believe this? i ask because openbsd
has no EXIT STATUS section, and both netbsd and freebsd have this in
their groff_man(7) pages:

	.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
        Diagnostic messages from a command should be placed in this
        section.  The `.Ex' macro may be used to generate text for
        use in the DIAGNOSTICS section for most section 1, 6 and
        8 commands; see Exit Status.

i'm trying to work out what the best way forward is.
