Really appreciate the patches.  Next time please could you make the
maintainer's life easier by:
- putting all the patches in one patch file in one bug report rather
  than 10 different ones in 10 different reports
- patch against the actual original file rather than something from stdin: the
  patch file headings such as:

--- -   2005-12-06 02:27:58.437196000 -0500
+++ /tmp/annotateoutput.1.gz.19281      2005-12-06 02:27:58.000000000 -0500

  make it impossible to use patch automatically.

Also, "manpage" versus "man page": there seem to be more pages using
"manpage" than "man page", and I personally prefer "manpage" (as it is
an abbreviation for "manual page", not a page for men), so I'm not
going to change these.  Either "manual page" or "man. page" might be
better, but the "word" manpage is familiar enough in the UN*X world to
be acceptable on a manpage.

Thanks for your sharp eyes!
