I'd like to be able to provide man pages, but I don't think that we
can expect all the documentation authors learn troff markup in order
to provide them.

If there were some way to autogenerate at least a simple man page from
the docbook markup that we have (similar to the way that "info
--usage" autogenerates manpage-like output from texinfo markup), it
would be well worth providing.
