Main repo sounds fine.  I don't imagine it will be updated often
unless we switch away from Man-DB again.  Justin, I can send you the
updated script when you want it.

I'd personally never used it until now.  On my system, the processor
and memory are at a premium, but I have lots of disk space.

My new idea is that I will put the reverse patch (to use Man) in the
patches repo in the event that it would ease a backwards transition. 
No mention would be made on the page.  It would just be like any of
the other myriad patches that people can scrounge for in the patches
repo.
