So, a simple way to convert MAN pages into 'xml' would be to use the doclifter
(http://www.catb.org/~esr/doclifter/doclifter.html), it will convert {n,t}roff
pages into DocBook XML format.
Then we could use the DocBook XSL Stylesheets project
(http://docbook.sourceforge.net/projects/xsl/) to output whatever format we
want to...
Would this be a good solution ?
