Subject: Regression in WoMan

It seems that WoMan can no longer handle the case where a manpage
loads another one with a .so request.  At least I got the error 

WoMan can only format man pages written with the usual `-man' macros

when trying to view the manpage for dpkg-buildpackage, which consists
of a single line:

.so man1/dpkg-source.1

Emacs 21.4 handles this well, and I'm sure that it worked in CVS at
least until a few months ago, too.
