My concern is that the command is more brittle in the face of changes,
and also all the extra "echo" stuff that man-db is doing (probably
because I don't understand what it's doing).

I'm thinking that we could provide the above in case man-db isn't
available.  Is there any way to auto-detect that?  If not, how about
putting this behind a flag?
