Thanks for the hint. The command looks complicated, why are all these
arguments needed? A "make html" in the gettext Makefile would be useful.

True. Althoug man pages are very readable, they are plain text. There isn't
much structure information to convert them to HTML. Nevertheless, I mostly
manage to find what I need in manpages. And references like csh(1) can be
used as hyper-links. I even have a Vim script for this.

I was talking about bind_textdomain_codeset(). How can I check if the CODESET
passed to it will result in translated messages? Preferably it would do an
iconv_open() to check that conversion between the encoding of the messages and
the encoding I specified is possible. If this fails, I would warn the user
that message are going to be unreadable, and switch back to English. Eh,
probably first switch to English and then give that message!
Anyway, at the moment it doesn't work at all, and I can't find a reason why it
would fail. iconv_open() should work fine with "euc-jp" and "utf-8".
