I was checking the book script from Deri (Deri, could you simplify the
script now that we use MR?  So dropping support for old BR?), and
noticed about syscalls.2, which has man-page references inside a tbl.

That hasn't been migrated by the script.  I guess you'd want to also
migrate those, right, Branden?

Have a lovely night,,
Alex
