If we can maintain the URL in the long term that would be great.

BTW, surprised to see "keywords index" as part of the "manuals" page.
Unfortunately the links are broken:

https://grass.osgeo.org/v.hull.html

Anyway, the above solution is better if we can have link like:

https://grass.osgeo.org/manuals/v.hull.html
https://grass.osgeo.org/manuals/v.hull

There is potential conflict of:

https://grass.osgeo.org/grass70/manuals/grass7.html
https://grass.osgeo.org/grass70/manuals/grass7
https://grass.osgeo.org/grass70
https://grass.osgeo.org/manuals/grass7.html
https://grass.osgeo.org/manuals/grass7

but if the command will be `grass7` (or even `grass`) and the version
always two numbers and the order is not changed to "manuals/grass70", no
conflict will happen.
