>Description:
	The manpage of popen(3) does not mention POSIX.  POSIX defines
	popen, so I guess it should be mentioned.
>How-To-Repeat:
	n/a
>Fix:
	Describe POSIX conformance under (currently non-existant) STANDARDS
	section.  It seems it's non-POSIX compatible in that it accepts "rw"
	as the `mode' (last) argument.
