| Apropos(1) doesn't allow searching for man pages in non-numeric sections. Also, makemandb(8) indexes only the first character of the section number and drops everything else.

| The attached patch fixes both the problems. It also includes changes for tickets bin/51038, bin/51039, and bin/51040.

Please don't mix other patches together. Resubmit just the relevant change,
