Patch to pcre 8.30 manpages which have revision dates listed
Many pcre manpages have a REVISION section with a "Last updated:" date.
However, this date is not reflected in the page footer of these manpages.
For example, the pcre-config(1) manpage (in pcre 8.30) has this section
REVISION
Last updated: 01 January 2012
but its footer has an empty Last change date (manpage for pcre installed
on Solaris 11, aka SunOS 5.11):
SunOS 5.11 Last change: 2
The revision date should be added to the .TH line, which currently looks like:
.TH PCRE-CONFIG 1
along with perhaps the string "PCRE <version #>":
.TH PCRE-CONFIG 1 "01 January 2012" "PCRE 8.30"
so the page footers would then list the last change date and pcre version:
PCRE 8.30 Last change: 01 January 2012 2
It would also be nice to add "Last change" dates in the other manpages
which do not have revision dates listed (e.g., pcre_compile.3, pcre_exec.3,
pcre_version.3, etc.)
