The .ph files generated by h2ph don't do the right thing with
#include directives.  If a file includes <sys/types.h>, the .ph file
should try to do 'sys/types.ph', not 'sys/types.h'.  This UNOFFICIAL
patch fixes it:

  .I h2ph
  converts any C header files specified to the corresponding Perl header file
  format.
-- It is most easily run while in /usr/include:
-- .nf
--
--       cd /usr/include; h2ph * sys/*
--
-- .fi
  .SH ENVIRONMENT
  No environment variables are used.
  .SH FILES

The second hunk of the patch deletes some irrelevant text from the man
page.  It recommends that you cd /usr/include, while the perl script
does this for you anyway.
