Julie, you might want to coordinate with Cristian Gafton
<gafton@redhat.com> to make sure there's no overlap between the two of
you.  I thought you had disappeared, so Cristian is working on some of
this now too.

Until we get anonymous CVS set up, it's probably just as well to
imitate the Open Group HTML "manual page" format for command
specifications.  Here's an example:

  http://www.unix-systems.org/version2/sample/abort.html

If you work from the real System V manual page and the Linux shadow
password utilities suite manual page, it should be very easy.

We'll need to do something similar for all of the commands required by
the LSB.  The preliminary listing of these commands is at:
