if by modern, you mean Linux... :-)

actually when I think about it, that file is only for man(1)'s
benefit.  makewhatis uses the information from NAME anyway, it just
splits on comma:

NAME
     send-uucp, send-nntp, send-ihave - send Usenet articles to remote
     site

oh well.  I prefer the .so-files anyway, I think they are easier to
keep track of.
