Hey John,
Thanks for the fixes. If you have the time, a check against the SVN
trunk for older build issues would be great.
Using the C-preprocessor to create manpages is certainly not optimal, it
was something done in FreeIPMI long ago. It would definitely be good to
do something better, but just haven't had the time to convert to one of
the many other more reasonable formats out there. Perhaps I will be
able to get a plucky intern to do this for me someday :-)
