Maybe a more robust approach would be something like
(defvar man--apropos-args (...))
where (...) is a piece of code which actually runs `man` with `-k` and
with or without `-l` to try and determine which kind of `man` we're
dealing with, but without making assumptions about which kind of `man`
is installed on which kind of OS.
Then we can use this new `man--apropos-args` var when running
`process-file`.
Oh, and `process-file` makes this worse because it may end up spawning
a process on a remote systems, so the local OS and local `man` may not
have anything to do with the remote OS and remote `man`.
Stefan
