- In progress:
-
- * store .so link in the db.
- * reduce wasted/duplicated text stored within the databases.
- 10-20% database size reduction so far.
- * pipeline library:
- - make COMMAND_FUNCTION child reentrant, so it doesn't have to be a
- subprocess; will save lots of forks of zlib children in mandb
-
- In need of attention:
-
- * clear up the use of troff and/or groff
- * complete configuration file redesign to allow better dynamic determination
- of programs/paths/extensions etc.
- * look at work done by Andries.
- * multiple debug levels?
-
- Case-insensitive lookup transition:
-
- * Solaris layout is broken.
- * Need to make sure pointers trigger an exact-case lookup [done for whatis].

- Apparently db3's compatibility API is, er, less than compatible.
- (Specifically, it isn't possible to write correct error-handling code that
