Suggested by and patch OK'ed by jmc@. While only apropos(1) and whatis(1) strictly require the database and while our man(1) implementation can find many manual pages even when no database is available or when the database is incomplete or corrupt, it does use the database even without -k whenever possible. Consequently, this change makes the manual page less confusing.
