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,
wouldn't perl would be a hard requirement?

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  "warning perl unavailable: this manpage may be out of date"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?
