10.5: View the new 'man' pages on upgraded systems

The script posted in the forums for X11 under: http://forums.macosxhints.com/showthread.php?t=80171&page=3 works very well. I ran it and it did what it said. I backed up my /usr/share/man directory first, though.

The problem with this issue is that everything works, you just see old information. E.g., if you do "man syslog" you will NOT see an entry for the "-C" command if you have the old man pages installed.
