If you're gonna fix up man.el, there are some more things to be aware
of:

for one, if you do 

M-x man (then something like "xwininfo")

you might get:

No manual entry for xwininfo

then, you realize: "ahh-I should edit my MANPATH", so you do so and
you then try it again:

M-x man
xwininfo

it still thinks it can't find it b/c man.el leaves this worthless
buffer lying around even when it can't make the manpage.  This is both
a waste of a buffer and, as far as I'm concerned, a bug.

also, it would be nice if Manual-follow-xref took an event arg
(non-optional), so that it would be closer to other hypertext-like
functions that follow links.  But this latter thing is just a
suggestion.
