Who reminds the volunteer that the man page needs to be updated each
time the primary documentation is updated?  Unfortunately, as FSF has
found out, if the primary documentation is in texi (or sgml, or html), 
there might be someone who volunteers to write a man page once.
However, the man page will probably not be updated when the primary
documentation is updated.  This leaves the man page out of date.  Do
we have a solution to this problem?
