There is a canonical solution for this with man pages, namely man page
links (those ".so" things in a man page that redirect to a different
one). In DocBook, you just list more than one refname in the refentry
to create this. I have committed a few bits of makefile to support
this. A bit more Perl hacking should also get psql up to speed. I
suggest we try if we like the results when WITH is linked to SELECT, and
then see about TABLE and whatever else.
