I'm not sure I understand: are you suggesting that "@c man" be treated 
specially?  If so, I'm not sure it's a good idea: comments should be left 
alone, IMHO.  For example, some document could have a comment like this 
that has nothing to do with man pages.

It's IMHO better to introduce a new directive for this purpose.  
Something like @usage..@end usage that will mark the material to be 
output into a man page.
