I posted a similar request in gnu.emacs.help, but I only got one
answer.  The question is:

	"Does anybody have a man page to info file converter?"

I'd like to create an info file for stuff like Xlib, Xt, etc.  I know
that they won't be "real" info files since the text will tend to be
tearse.  However, I find the emacs info system easier to use than the
unix man system.  I currently have a real kludge to get this done.
Does anybody have a "clean way" to do this?
