[GRASS-dev] GRASS Wiki and manual pages

Is it practical to provide a convenient means to link to manual pages
from the Wiki? Ideally something which doesn't require typing
significantly more than the actual command name, e.g.

	[[cmd:r.mapcalc|]].

At present, the only way to link to manual pages is with a full URL. 
Apart from the increase in typing, AFAICT it's not possible to link to
a manual page without referring to a specific version.

Right now, very few command names are hyperlinked, and those which are
use full URLs for a particular version. Unless there's a global
search-and-replace tool, that's going to create a lot of work when the
"current" version changes.
