Sorry, I thought I had responded to your earlier mail...
>From an upstream point of view, I don't want to make these
changes at this time.  The reason is that the w* pages in
question do not yet exist.  I have added text to the
HOWTOHELP document noting that these pages are yet to
be written and that when they are, SEE ALSO links can be
created in the pages for their traditional equivalents.

These w* pages are just a few among a very large number
of man pages that remain to be written, and are not
high on my own list of priorities.  If you would like to
contribute the required man pages, you are most welcome.

This has been done (i.e., I have added a SEE ALSO link in 
gets.3).

Cheers,

Michael
