When `manpath` prints a symlink to a directory, `/usr/libexec/makewhatis`
ignores the entire directory:
```
$ /usr/libexec/makewhatis -o /tmp/whatis \
(/usr/bin/manpath | string split :)
makewhatis: /Users/wiggles/.nix-profile/share/man: Not a directory
```
This means that the built-in `man` completions will not index any commands in
these directories.
If we pass the directories to `readlink -f` first, `makewhatis` correctly
indexes the `man` pages.
```
$ /usr/libexec/makewhatis -o /tmp/whatis \
(/usr/bin/manpath | string split : | xargs readlink -f)
```
