Sounds good. I.e., it sounds like we want Stefano's patch, after all.
As you recall, a nice side effect is that we will
no longer distribute the generated man/*.1 files.
Well if we don't distribute the .1 files,

It might be better to insert a warning like:
"warning perl unavailable: this manpage may be out of date"
at the bottom of man pages but only for source files
that actually were updated?
