Well, a couple of things...

1) how did you test them?  They should also perhaps be checked in a UTF
locale - or converted to UTF-8...

2) While I proposed pre-generating manpages, and the help text
previously, I got pushback from people. TBH, I am fine with
pre-generating the man pages.  They only exist in the C/en locale anyway.

3) What are other peoples opinions on this patchset?
