--- Comment #4 from Marcin Cieślak <saper@saper.info> ---
I was thinking about using/amending the information in the whatis database for
this. If there are LINKS there should be MLINKS and we could infer

pgrep -> pgrep.1 -> .Nm pgrep .Nm pkill -> same source directory as pkill if
not found otherwise

Not ideal, but I think this is a good approximation
