The long lines in man pages are annoying.  In particular, they make webrevs that include man page fixes not usable in "sdiff" view.  Here's an example:
  http://cr.illumos.org/view/ju1r6k7n/usr/src/man/man1/cpio.1.udiff.html

Mostly this is the CDDL header, which has the same wording we see on most sources, but spread out with one sencence per line.  (Did I say annoying?:)

We should just wholesale convert the man page sources to have the canonical
line breaks in the CDDL so they will look just like the other CDDL sources.
