Following up to the recent discussion that our man page build is weird, ancient, and only works with patched tools, I have implemented support for using a newer toolchain based on docbook2x(.sf.net). You can try it out by installing docbook2x and running "make manx".

Right now, I can only verify that it works on Debian. Installing this package from sources might be pretty complicated.
The build works nicely and quickly, and if we fix up a few small formatting artifacts and sort out the installation issues, we could switch to using this as our standard build method.
