## Man pages. ##
## ----------- ##
# The man pages are generated using GNU Help2man. In makefiles rules they
# depend not on the binary, but on the source files. This usage allows a
# manual page to be generated by the maintainer and included in the
# distribution without requiring the end-user to have 'help2man' installed.
# They are built in $(srcdir) like info manuals.
