If you get the Epoch 3.2 distribution, there is some contributed code that
runs Info on the Unix Man pages, for some systems. Unfortunately, different
OS's seem to have a need to format their man pages in subtle but distinctly
different ways, so it doesn't work everywhere. Also, it does the conversions
"on the fly", and doesn't store them.
