pnpinfo is only built for i386, but it does exist.  man.cgi appears to be
broken for 9.1 release and later (9.0 finds pnpinfo.8 for i386, but 9.1
and later do not)  man.cgi for i386 9.1 also doesn't find other i386-specific
manpages like apmd(8) or wlconfig(8).  Specifically, it seems like 9.1
and later are using amd64 manpages when i386 is selected.  Looks like sparc64
is also busted (can't find ofwdump(8)), so it seems like man.cgi is just
always doing amd64 for 9.1 and later.
