Hi Dan,

docbook-to-man was a requirement a while back, but a lot of people
complained that it was too heavy a package to install just to create a
man page.  Someone recommended that I port the docbook2X tool as a
lighter-weight replacement.  I did that, but we've run into issues where
it conflicts with other docbook-related tools.

It may make sense to simply pre-process the man page and include it in
the files/ directory of the port, since it's the only one.

Thank you,
Greg
