The SH and SS macros are re-definitions. The SH-xref macro is new.
So there is a call to it in manpages/refentry.xsl that I will need
to wrap in a conditional. The toupper macro is also new, but it's
only called by the re-defined SH and SH-xref macros, so simply
conditionally suppressing those will be enough.

I'll try to get the changes made and checked in. As soon as I do,
I'll let you know.
