Ok.  The file should be called @kst_binary_name at .1.gz when it is
packaged and put in place.  That way typing "man kst2" will work on
systems that call it kst2 and "man kst" will work on systems that call
it kst.  The .1 is redundant, I know (it's the same "1" as the one in
man1/), but that's the way the man/apropos/[ng]roff system wants it.
