Bug#698436: microcom: man page markup errors

thanks

That patch is only partially helpful because microcom.1 is currently a
generated file. Anyhow, I added a manpage upstream that shouldn't have
the problems you pointed out. If you want to take a look:

	http://git.pengutronix.de/?p=tools/microcom.git;a=commitdiff;h=cf57915cd3c7b261949bf65a46891c092346a6fa

So the next upload should fix this bug.

Thanks
Uwe
