I think we should just submit the patch as is rather than fixing makewhatis(1). tuning(7) written by the same author just uses 'FreeBSD' instead of .Fx and therefore shows up properly. I could not find any other examples of man pages that have this problem, leading me to conclude that hacking up makewhatis would be overengineering the solution. - Murray
