------------
help2man is a tool for automatically generating simple manual pages from
program output.

It is intended to provide an easy way for software authors to include a
manual page in their distribution without having to maintain that document.

Given a program which produces resonably standard --help and --version
outputs, help2man will attempt to re-arrange that output into something
which resembles a manual page.
------------

Things that may not be correct:
patch-hacklocaledir.c was inspired by audio/arts/patches/patch-ab
REPLACE_PERL may be necessary.

Tested on:      NetBSD/i386 1.6.2
