Historically, a comment of the following form at the top of a
manual page was used to indicate too man(1) that the use of tbl(1)
was required in order to process tables:
'\" t
However, at least as far back as 2001 (according to Branden),
man-db's man(1) automatically uses tbl(1) as needed, rendering
this comment unnecessary. And indeed many existing pages in
man-pages that have tables don't have this comment at the top of
the file. So, drop the comment from those files where it is
present.

"/bin/pwd" happens to work with the GNU coreutils implementation,
which has -P as the default, contrary to POSIX requirements.
Use "pwd -P" instead, which is shorter, easier to type, and should
work everywhere.

Clarify that it is recursive read locks on the read-write lock
that make it difficult to implement
PTHREAD_RWLOCK_PREFER_WRITER_NP.
Update the libc-alpha URL and provide the URL to the POSIX wording
that is quoted in the comment.
