Jani was mentioning how much he loved editing troff, so I decided to
dust off these patches, which as a side effect convert (some of) the
man pages to pod.
As I write this, I realized that the second commit message is sort of
a lie, I now use a quick and dirty perl script [1] to do the conversion.
I have also updated the converted pages to take into account man page
edits since April. Since this is a semi-manual process, I don't want
to convert (and therefore have to update) all of the man pages at this
stage.
