Sorry, to be merciless.  But I am not entirely happy about this.  I
think the old behaviour should be returned.  [Then again I use
"iswitchb.el" which makes switching to old-style named man buffers a
synch (easy).]

There are lots of shell script that have man pages.  Currently if you
have such a shell script in a buffer, and you try to `man' its man
page, the buffer with the shell script is put into Man mode!!

Ok, I'm sure that bug could be fixed, but it illustrates the current
problem well.  Having man buffers just named by the command-name is
not a good idea!

[thought Karl said he was going to change this back anyway, or is that
just my convenient memory.]
