PATCH: manpage reference transforms

PATCH: manpage reference transforms

[Clint Adams]

This monster makes the manpages refer to each other properly,
except for "zsh", which I didn't replace for obvious reasons.
The slashes should probably be changed to commas for
consistency's sake.

AFAICT the only two major things not yet being transformed
are the references to zsh.1 in the manpages, and the Texinfo
description.

I wouldn't recommend this.  So far the documentation is all the same
everywhere (except for the matter that info files need to contain their
own filename): we should keep it this way.  Also, the way you do it is
asking for trouble: you may change things not intended to be changed.
