I personally don't like how this works.  If we add this feature, I would
like it to only happen when explicitly told to wtf(6).  For example:

	wtf -t pkg perl

and treating 'pkg' as a special type (instead of looking for an
acronyms.pkg file).

But even if doing this... wtf is meant to translate *acronyms*, while
most package names are not.  Therefore, this functionality doesn't
belong here.

If this change was motivated by your original 'wtf is perl' attempt,
just try 'wtf -t comp perl' and you'll get what you were looking for ;)

Cheers,
