Would it be reasonable to set the > default for `Man-man-k-use-anchor' to non-nil if the system type is > `cygwin' or `windows-nt' or `ms-dos'? It is much better, IMO, to probe for "man -k" support the first time "M-x man" is invoked, like we do with "M-x grep". Relying on system-type should only be a very distant second candidate (e.g., what if Windows machines will get a proper 'man' command that does supports apropos databases?).
