Last month I asked the texinfo folks upstream if they supported markup
to turn info pages into proper man pages (with synopsis, etc). They
don't yet, but I'm going to persue it a little bit more. Ideally we'll

the info files.

I can read French, but I don't want to commit to maintaining man pages!
