MAN v2.2 
--------

This (mostly) bug-fix only release is an update of man_db-2.1b2.

Fixed since man_db-2.1b1:

	A security bug.
	Some problems causing ': Too many open files.' messages.
	Some whatis confusion when parsing OI and tcl pages.
	A umask dependant problem.

Changes in this release:

	Better alternate systems handling.
	Long option names.
	Verbosity control for straycats.
	Removed the need to fork() on Linux when installed setuid.
	Spell checked documents.
	Aesthetic upgrade of the package's manual pages.
