I noticed that there is a missing man page for xml2info in xmame-tools.
Please find attached one I have created for inclusion.

I was unsure whether the tools for xmame would be in man section 1 (for 
executables) or section 6 (for games).  As this tool is not a game, but
game related, I have placed it in section 1 for now.  Feel free to amend
if required.
