It compiles without warning and functions on amd64.

In looking over the mined.1 man page, I noticed the
key bindings weren't discussed (only the F1 help
key is mentioned).  So, I update the manpagei with
the key bindings, sent it to DragonFlyBSD, and my
patch was committed within an hour.  I suspect it
will take much longer for anyone to asks for the
diffs.
