It actually wasn't as bad as I was afraid of; I managed to do a good
90% or more of it mechanically.  Relatively few manual tweaks needed
after   :)

Thanks.  I haven't yet done anything with these; from what I can see,
they're existing quirks/mistakes, not artifacts of the conversion.  I
wanted to do as near as possible a same-content substitution first, so
we have a known baseline.  But they're absolutely appreciated, and on
my todo if nobody beats me to it!

Possible.  Until a bit before I started this, the manpage DID list the
version, but it was hardcoded in the source, and just another place
the same info had to be manually updated.  I'd rather figure out how
to get it to pull the info from one place.

That "last updated" may be a little misleading; it's actually the
timestamp for when asciidoc(1) was run to generate the HTML, not
anything to do with when the source itself was touched.
