Does this also switch the man pages and other stuff that may be there?

While mailwrapper switches between sendmail and postfix, which have distinct 
names, there isn't a problem.

However pkgwrapper would only switch between different versions of the same 
programs. Without special actions by the wrapper one would have to edit the 
manpath oneself to make sure that the appropriate versions of the pages are 
shown.
