>Description:
	mknod(1) manual page doesn't refer to mkfifo(1).  Those of
	us brought up on pre-POSIX SysV systems expect to be able
	to make FIFOs with 'mknod', so a SEE ALSO entry in the manual
	page would be appropriate.
>How-To-Repeat:
	Read mknod(1) manual page.
>Fix:
	Add mkfifo(1) (and mkfifo(2)?) to the SEE ALSO section of the
	mknod(1) manual page.
