Thank you for the hint! This file is nownearly 9 years old and it was never  
really uptated to reflect the enhancements.

Most of the locations in the man files that mention a PATH use this to distinct 
bewteen different compile options (e.g. traditional UNIX vs. X-OPEN issue 4).

Note that X-OPEN issue 4 is POSIX.1-1990 with a state from 1992. That standard 
rearranged the rules for Utility Syntax Guidelines and needs a slightly 
modified command line (option) parser.

Given that the man pages are originally taken from OpenSolaris, I would like to 
keep the /usr/ccs and /usr/xpg4 paths intact. Yould you be OK with a NOTE that 
explains that /usr/ has to be replaced by the "installation base" directory?
