Asciidoctor just doesn't understand the -f argument, so trying to pass
it is going to fail.  For Asciidoctor, you're going to want to do
something like "-I. -rasciidoctor/extensions -rextensions" there
instead.

As for the rest of the asciidoc.conf file, the DocBook manpage header
declarations are implemented automatically by Asciidoctor after my
recent patches.  The paragraph hacks do not appear to be necessary with
Asciidoctor, so they've been omitted.

That leaves the attributes.  All but litdd are built-in to Asciidoctor,
and I can reroll with a modification to extensions.rb that implements
that one.
