Fix excessive white space in manpages.
In nroff manpages, a blank line adds vertical white space. When this is followed by another command that also starts a new paragraph, the result is a vertical skip twice as big as the normal inter-paragraph gap. The solution is to use a line that contains just "." for white space within the manpage, instead of a blank line. The resulting manpages look better.
