Hi again,

Two quick corrections.

Actually, it already uses the HTML path. :)

It seems Jon's and my mails crossed.  Here's another use case for
--man-path: if your frontend wants to fall back to HTML documentation
without spawning a man pager when the manpages are not installed, it
needs to know where to look.

formatted documentation, 2007-01-28)
