Re: CVS commit: basesrc/etc

["Valeriy E. Ushakov" <uwe%ptc.spbu.ru@localhost>]

To clarify this a bit.

apropos(1) processes globs in _whatdb entries, but catman(8) doesn't.

Catman needs to be updated to ignore _whatdb alltogether and use the
same logic for running makewhatis it uses for man paths.  This will
make catman -w -M /usr/pkg/man  DTRT.

Wiz and I (since I fixed another glob-related issue recently, which
I'm now starting to regret ;-) discussed this briefly and so far it
seems easier to temporarily revert Luke's globifying of _whatdb.
