Only after someone comes up with a diff that documents the
differences between to two (I'm assuming there have to be
some differences).  After seeing a few comments on recent
commits, it appears that we are somewhat lacking on alpha-specific
man pages.

As it stands, if the man page exists in man4/man4.i386, then
it should be marked i386 only.  Since I've noticed that there
is no man4/man4.alpha directory, then it appears that our alpha
documentation is lacking.

If things work as they should, then I think alpha users should never
see the i386 man pages.  I don't know if that is happening right
now.  But, the alpha users also aren't seeing a lot of alpha
specific man pages, either (if any).

I know almost next to nothing about the alpha, but I'm willing to
work with anyone on getting all of the man pages in line.
And if someone wants to donate an alpha machine to me to
help this along, I'm all for it :-)!!!!.

-Mike
