               pnmcrop: Add -closeness
 
+              Build: don't create pointer man pages anymore.  These were
+              classic man pages, created by 'make package', one for each
+              program, that just told the user to get the manual from the web
+              and that other options for manuals are available at install
+              time.  Getting documentation online is commonplace enough now
+              that the user doesn't need to be told to do it or that there are
+              other options.  The existence of pointer man pages was,
+              meanwhile, misleading, since it looked from the outside like
+              they actually contained documentation.
+
+              Build: Don't package or install Manweb setup (for accessing
+              manuals on the web with Manweb).  Probably 100% unused and
+              distracting.
