+\r
+This series looks good to me. \r
+\r
+Except the reference to _POSIX_ page. One knows how consistent these\r
+specifications are; alternative:\r
+\r
+http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/command.html\r
+\r
+mentions additionally that -v flag\r
+"(On systems supporting the User Portability Utilities option.)" \r
+\r
+Also, we don't give such a treatment to other command either; I'd rather\r
+see RST2MAN=rst2man, RST2MAN=rst2man.py *and* RST2MAN= lines used\r
+instead -- the last to set RST2MAN to empty string instead of being unset.\r
