Does anyone know of a tool that will convert [ntg]roff man page
source to DocBook?

man pages have a well-defined structure and DocBook includes tags
for that structure, so this should be possible in principle. My
guess is it will be messy in practice.

I know I can go man -> HTML -> DocBook, nut I suspect that will
mangle things badly.
