I am still considering a "Step 5" to deal with the orphans, which will end up (after "Step 4") to being around half of the total man page repo, I am guessing, as follows:
Split the names of man pages with underscores, dashes, colons, etc. in the name of the man page and search titles, tags and posts on one or more of those substrings.
Use the operation system of the man page query, and cross reference to the most popular threads in corresponding forums (Linux, Solaris, AIX, etc).
Maybe something else... maybe not. Will sleep on this, since sleep always bring more ideas and solutions. I always get a lot of work and new ideas when I sleep and dream.

mkdir calls the mkdir(2) system call.

Can anyone supply me with the man pages for:
omnidatalist
omnibarlist
omnisap.exe
I prefer the source man pages in nroff format.
A clue about the software bundles which supply these man pages is fine as well.
