openjade man pages

[Adam Di Carlo <adam@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've started working on some OpenJade manual pages.  I'm using
DocBook/RefEntry to do this, converting with docbook2man (ok, that's
perl, but at least it makes nice ROFF).  The really sweet thing about
using SGML here is that you can break out the standard set of options
used by the all the different programs (and defined by ParserApp,
EntityApp, and CmdLineApp) into a separate entity file, to be included
by all:

  <!entity std.options.synopsis "
  <arg><option>-Cegv</option></arg>
  <arg><option>-a<replaceable>link_type</replaceable></option></arg>
  <arg><option>-A<replaceable>arch</replaceable></option></arg>
  <arg><option>-b<replaceable>bctf</replaceable></option></arg>
  <arg><option>-c<replaceable>catalog_sysid</replaceable></option></arg>
  <arg><option>-D<replaceable>dir</replaceable></option></arg>
  <arg><option>-E<replaceable>max_errors</replaceable></option></arg>
  <arg><option>-f<replaceable>error_file</replaceable></option></arg>
  <arg><option>-i<replaceable>entity</replaceable></option></arg>
  <arg><option>-w<replaceable>warning_type</replaceable></option></arg>
  <arg><option>-x<replaceable>doc_type</replaceable></option></arg>
  ">

This is still early stages, but I'm wondering if the OpenJade group is
interested in this effort.  You could ideally delegate CVS write
permissions to me (I promise only to work in the allotted areas) and
that the load can be spread around.
