sounds good.
I'm all for it!

I see two possible ways to go about this:

1) maintain man pages seperatly from src (straightforward)

2) literate progamming
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literate_programming
    (generate man from src itself)

The latter option would ensure that API and MAN do not
diverge easily.
