All the HTML documentation is installed with Gtk+ (i.e.,
off-line) in $datadir/gtk-doc/html.  And .devhelp files
allow to easily display documentation of a given function in
links/dillo/mozilla -remote/whatever with a simple script.
I've even wrote a tool that does approximate matching when
it doesn't find the identifier exactly (but it's pain to set
up so I'm not linking it here).  If you want command line
doc browsing and not exactly man pages, there's IMHO no need
to generate them.
