Correct the history of apropos(1), whatis(1) and whereis(1): These
utilities were already part of 2BSD. Also credit Bill Joy as the author. Document the HISTORY of options. Say a bit more about the fate of whereis(1). All information found on http://minnie.tuhs.org/cgi-bin/utree.pl and in the OpenBSD, NetBSD, and FreeBSD CVS trees. Using feedback from jmc@.
