I just added links to man.he.net. If they don't have it, they don't have it. Unless someone else wants to take on the job of a comprehensive index of every man page in existence, we're going to have to be tolerant of some broken links. If we're lucky, he.net will set up a 404 alert system to learn what man pages it might be useful for them to add.
