Description: Converter from DocBook SGML into roff -man macros.
The docbook-to-man tool is a batch converter that transforms
UNIX-style manpages from the DocBook SGML DTD into nroff/troff -man
macros. This is not the original version by Fred Dalrymple, but
one with the ANS modifications by David Bolen.
This must be available for Red Hat as well?
