Info is far superior to man, it would be more useful to
spend time learning info than writing a info->man converter
(which looses all the hypertext information).
tkman (on wish/tcl) is pretty nice (it applies heuristics
to try to guess about which sections). But the hypertext
links really aren't there.
It may make a lot more sense to write info->help/help->info for windows...
