Hi Bjarni,
thanks for your work on the man page, though ...

This has been fixed upstream with the inclusion of the latest release
of xdvik.

Your patch is funny, in the first part you remove double spaces after
full stops (XXX. YYY -> XXX, YYY), in the later part of your patch
you are *introducing* double spaces where they aren't?!?!
I tried to extract the useful parts, but gave up after some point.
If you really want to do that again, please get the current xdvi.1.in
from
http://www.tug.org/svn/texlive/trunk/Build/source/texk/xdvik/xdvi.1.in?view=markup
and send us another patch against this, thanks.
Best wishes
Norbert

CLABBY (adj.)
A 'clabby' conversation is one stuck up by a commissionaire or
cleaning lady in order to avoid any further actual work. The opening
gambit is usually designed to provoke the maximum confusion, and
therefore the longest possible clabby conversation. It is vitally
important to learn the correct, or 'clixby' (q.v.), responses to a
clabby gambit, and not to get trapped by a 'ditherington' (q.v.). For
instance, if confronted with a clabby gambit such as 'Oh, mr Smith, I
didn't know you'd had your leg off', the ditherington response is 'I
haven't....' whereas the clixby is 'good.'
