NetBSD/libexec/makewhatis
jdolecek 534dd161ea If called without arguments, parse /etc/man.conf and regenerate the whatis
databases specified there. By default, the individual databases
are actually generated by forked children in this case, for
performance reasons. This feature can be switched off by new -f flag.
If the configuration file can't be parsed or doesn't contain any
_whatdb entries, the code falls back to /usr/share/man as before.

Added -C, which allows to specify alternate configuration file. This
  is compatible with apropos(1) and whatis(1) flag of same name.

Update manpage accordingly and document behaviour a bit better.
Also add a HISTORY section, hopefully correct (done using CVS logs).

This solves toolchain/5231 by Tim Rightnour and bin/7696 by Allen Briggs.
