Well this is a very niche use case, but on FreeBSD they patch msec.in to
say "FreeBSD General Commands Manual" etc. which means that when I use
mandoc -T html to generate my website I have to use a different build of
mandoc so that the volume title just says "Miscellaneous Information Manual"
instead of "FreeBSD Miscellaneous Information Manual."
