For some reason, we don't put a button on the second #include.

Interestingly enough, I can reproduce this on GNU/Linux, but not on
MS-Windows, even if I produce the formatted man page on GNU/Linux and
then display it on Windows.  So I guess the problem is somehow related
to the slightly  different scripts we use to massage the man page for
display.
