$>on those manpages SEE ALSO sections, l is used where 1 should be,
$>e.g.: fitcircle(l). This breaks emacs' M-x man.

$But that is true of all GMT man pages as they are supposed to go in 
$man/manl.  Perhaps the emacs macro is broken...

No, on debian they are put into man1 and there is no manl. I am
sending this to the debian gmt-manpages package maintainer to see what
he wants to do about this, if anything.

True, emacs' M-x man command could look in more places if it can't find
it where it wants, maybe.
