Man pages are now generated from markdown templates,

using pandoc's man page writer.  Removed man pages
from repository, added (.md) templates.  Modified
Makefile to generate man pages as part of the build
process.

+# NAME
+
+pandoc - general markup converter
+
+# SYNOPSIS
+
+**pandoc [*options*] [*input-file*]...**
+
+# DESCRIPTION
+
+Pandoc converts files from one markup format to another. It can
+read markdown and (subsets of) reStructuredText, HTML, and LaTeX, and
+it can write markdown, reStructuredText, HTML, LaTeX, RTF, DocBook
+XML, and S5 HTML slide shows.
+
+If no *input-file* is specified, input is read from STDIN.
+Otherwise, the *input-files* are concatenated (with a blank
+line between each) and used as input.  Output goes to STDOUT by
+default.  For output to a file, use the `-o` option:
+
+    pandoc -o output.html input.txt
+
+The input and output formats may be specified using command-line options
+(see **OPTIONS**, below, for details).  If these formats are not
+specified explicitly, Pandoc will attempt to determine them
+from the extensions of the input and output filenames.  If input comes
+from STDIN or from a file with an unknown extension, the input is assumed
+to be markdown.  If no output filename is specified using the `-o`
+option, or if a filename is specified but its extension is unknown,
+the output will default to HTML.  Thus, for example,
+
+    pandoc -o chap1.tex chap1.txt
+
+converts *chap1.txt* from markdown to LaTeX.  And
+
+    pandoc README
+
+converts *README* from markdown to HTML.
+
+Pandoc's version of markdown is an extended variant of standard
+markdown: the differences are described in the *README* file in
+the user documentation.  If standard markdown syntax is desired, the
+`--strict` option may be used.
+
+Pandoc uses the UTF-8 character encoding for both input and output.
+If your local character encoding is not UTF-8, you should pipe input
+and output through `iconv`:
+
+    iconv -t utf-8 input.txt | pandoc | iconv -f utf-8
+
+Pandoc's HTML parser is not very forgiving.  If your input is
+HTML, consider running it through `tidy`(1) before passing it
+to Pandoc.  Or use `html2markdown`(1), a wrapper around `pandoc`.
+
+# OPTIONS
+
+-f *FORMAT*, -r *FORMAT*, --from=*FORMAT*, --read=*FORMAT*
+:   Specify input format.  *FORMAT* can be
+    `native` (native Haskell), `markdown` (markdown or plain text),
+    `rst` (reStructuredText), `html` (HTML), or `latex` (LaTeX).
+
+-t *FORMAT*, -w *FORMAT*, --to=*FORMAT*, --write=*FORMAT*
+:   Specify output format.  *FORMAT* can be `native` (native Haskell),
+    `man` (groff man page),
+    `markdown` (markdown or plain text), `rst` (reStructuredText),
+    `html` (HTML), `latex` (LaTeX), `docbook` (DocBook XML),
+    `s5` (S5 HTML and javascript slide show), or 
+    `rtf` (rich text format).
+
+-s, --standalone
+:   Produce output with an appropriate header and footer (e.g. a
+    standalone HTML, LaTeX, or RTF file, not a fragment).
+
+-o *FILE*, --output=*FILE*
+:   Write output to *FILE* instead of STDOUT.  If *FILE* is
+    '`-`', output will go to STDOUT.
+
+-p, --preserve-tabs
+:   Preserve tabs instead of converting them to spaces.
+
+--tab-stop=*TABSTOP*
+:   Specify tab stop (default is 4).
+
+--strict
+:   Use strict markdown syntax, with no extensions or variants.
+
+--reference-links
+:   Use reference-style links, rather than inline links, in writing markdown
+    or reStructuredText.
+
+-R, --parse-raw
+:   Parse untranslatable HTML codes and LaTeX environments as raw HTML
+    or LaTeX, instead of ignoring them.
+
+-S, --smart
+:   Use smart quotes, dashes, and ellipses.  (This option is significant
+    only when the input format is `markdown`.  It is selected automatically
+    when the output format is `latex`.)
+
+-m, --asciimathml
+:   Use ASCIIMathML to display embedded LaTeX math in HTML output.
+
+-i, --incremental
+:   Make list items in S5 display incrementally (one by one).
+
+-N, --number-sections
+:   Number section headings in LaTeX output.  (Default is not to number
+    them.)
+
+-c *CSS*, --css=*CSS*
+:   Link to a CSS style sheet.  *CSS* is the pathname of the style sheet.
+
+-H *FILE*, --include-in-header=*FILE*
+:   Include contents of *FILE* at the end of the header.  Implies `-s`.
+
+-B *FILE*, --include-before-body=*FILE*
+:   Include contents of *FILE* at the beginning of the document body.
+
+-A *FILE*, --include-after-body=*FILE*
+:   Include contents of *FILE* at the end of the document body.
+
+-C *FILE*, --custom-header=*FILE*
+:   Use contents of *FILE* as the document header (overriding the
+    default header, which can be printed by using the `-D` option).
+    Implies `-s`.
+
+-D *FORMAT*, --print-default-header=*FORMAT*
+:   Print the default header for *FORMAT* (`html`, `s5`, `latex`,
+    `docbook`, `man`, `markdown`, `rst`, `rtf`).
+
+-T *STRING*, --title-prefix=*STRING*
+:   Specify *STRING* as a prefix to the HTML window title.
+
+--dump-args
+:   Print information about command-line arguments to STDOUT, then exit.
+    The first line of output contains the name of the output file specified
+    with the `-o` option, or '`-`' (for STDOUT) if no output file was
+    specified.  The remaining lines contain the command-line arguments,
+    one per line, in the order they appear.  These do not include regular
+    Pandoc options and their arguments, but do include any options appearing
+    after a '`--`' separator at the end of the line.
+    This option is intended primarily for use in wrapper scripts.
+
+--ignore-args
+:   Ignore command-line arguments (for use in wrapper scripts).
+    Regular Pandoc options are not ignored.  Thus, for example,
+
+:       pandoc --ignore-args -o foo.html -s foo.txt -- -e latin1
+
+:   is equivalent to
+
+:       pandoc -o foo.html -s
+
+-v, --version
+:   Print version.
+
+-h, --help
+:   Show usage message.
