Summary: sample extension man page does not format

Initial Comment:
platform: sparc solaris 8
tcl cvs head, dated 20100429 on the activestate cvs ftp site
sample cvs head, dated 20100429 on the activestate cvs ftp site

After configuring, building, testing, and installing the sample extension, I ran

man -s n sha1

with the install man folder in my MANPATH and got the error:

Reformatting page.  Please Wait...unknown preprocessor specifier T

After adding
.\"
as the first line of the man page (similar to what I see in other Tcl man files)
the page formats and displays as expected.
