The modules have been committed.

I'm not so sure about the extra links.  Certainly you should be able to 
find the right man pages with apropos?

'apropos -C -9 MODULE'		first result it module(9)
'apropos modcmd'		returns only one result - module(9)
'apropos uio'			first returned result is uiomove(9)

I think it will be reasonable to add the lua cross reference.  But it 
goes at the the end of the list.  Sort order for SEE ALSO used the 
section number as the most significant sort field, then lexicograhpic 
(alphabetic) sort on the name.  :)

I have requested a pull-up for 7.0.
