I'm with you on this... a man page is a lot more useful for general usage
than an Info page (I use man all of the time, while I only reluctantly pull
up Info).
IMHO, people should be shipping complete man pages; as a compromise, I'd be
willing to read HTML pages (where you have a decent choice of viewers)
instead of Info pages (lynx is a lot lighter-weight than emacs for reference
purposes).
