This is what leads to missing and broken links in our HTML manual
pages.  For example if you go here:

http://libguestfs.org/guestfs.3.html#see_also

you will see that references like "guestfish(1)" are not links, but
they should be.

Even worse:

http://libguestfs.org/virt-cat.1.html#see_also

has broken links like "the Sys::Guestfs(3) manpage".

However I never worked out how to solve this, and these are just
warnings you can ignore when building.
