Ben Wiederhake 8ff942b5a4 Manpages+markdown-checker: Permit only specific missing files 
I can't write these manpages ad-hoc, and in most cases I don't want to
remove the link because it is justified. The hope is that with this
FIXME in place, there is more motivation to write these manpages for
someone who knows enough about them. Or at least we will introduce fewer
dead links in the future, making Help more useful.
