I think the postscript at the output of every docbook-to-man processed
file is extremely annoying, ie:
.sp \\$2u \" move below the image
..
.de pF
.ie \\*(f1 .ds f1 \\n(.f
.el .ie \\*(f2 .ds f2 \\n(.f
.el .ie \\*(f3 .ds f3 \\n(.f
.el .ie \\*(f4 .ds f4 \\n(.f
.el .tm ? font overflow
.ft \\$1
..
and so on. It pisses me off to no end. Source says this:
# ***** modify the following line (to "=false") if you're not using the
# ***** Elan Documentor's Workbench
doElanPSInclude=true
which, if set to false, won't create this output. I've done it for mine,
but I don't think anybody uses the Elan Documentor... Could you at least
make this variable setting dependent on arguments? I have attached a
small diff to this end, for the source package.

This is a little hackish, but it does the job for me. Don't know whether
you have a better solution or whether you want to implement this at all.
