Would you mind sending a patch that I can apply with git? I could manually edit the file you attached, but I'm feeling lazy for that :\
I saw reference to some compression program called "yabba" and I thought, "what the Hutt?"
:)I have a patch for an extension that wasn't covered by this file. I'm guessing pkg-config wasn't invented when this page was written? That's really old... It seems the page goes back to man-pages 1.0 (with some additions later; mostly in 1.21).
Cheers, Alex
