- update for 1.5 (still more MD stuff to check) - use new macros in ../common/macros as appropriate - introduce some CONSISTENCY between the various ports' install docs - use various mdoc macros as appropriate, including .Li, .Pa, .Sy, and .Ic. - migrate more stuff into ../common/* - whitespace cleanup - lots of other little things i'm sure...
