Hi, I'm trying to open some ncurses man pages in busybox man, however it's not \
possible as these files are suffixed .3x instead of .3 (even though they're in \
section 3).

Currently busybox man assumes the man page will have the same "title" as the section, \
meaning files with the suffix .3x cannot be found in section man3. This could either \
be fixed by only matching names until the suffix (thought this could be hard to do \
since file names may end in .3.bz2 and might have a . in the page name, such as \
mkfs.ext4) or match SECTIONx as well.

It is also worth mentioning man-db opens these man pages without an issue.
