I do not care about BSD.  I do not care about man-pages.

My point is very simple: obviously, no merge should happen until the
documentation *of what the things do exactly* is available.  So the
proponents of the merge should at least:

  a) convert the docs to EMX format;

  b) have the list of implemented functions in one bulk;

  c) have the list of limitations (comparing to BSD) in one bulk;

  d) merge the description of limitations with entries for specific functions.

I do not see how one can discuss the merge without having lists of `b'
and `c' before our eyes.  The steps `a' and `d' may be postponed
indeed - at least if one can access the BSD manpages through a
convenient URL (which I expect is available).

Hope this helps,
