Subject: New XML-based man page build

Following up to the recent discussion that our man page build is weird, 
ancient, and only works with patched tools, I have implemented support 
for using a newer toolchain based on docbook2x(.sf.net).  You can try it 
out by installing docbook2x and running "make manx".

Right now, I can only verify that it works on Debian.  Installing this 
package from sources might be pretty complicated.

The build works nicely and quickly, and if we fix up a few small 
formatting artifacts and sort out the installation issues, we could 
switch to using this as our standard build method.
