An alternative to pointing people to another manpage verbally is to
use the groff .so macro. It's comparable to TeX's \input and we are
using it in the man/man1/*-sys.1 files already.
The content of texmf/doc/man/man1/updmap-sys.1 is
.so man1/updmap.1
It saves people a few keystrokes.

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.
