Perhaps this will make someone's life a little easier when porting
packages...

I wrote a script to invoke "man" on each entry in a man directory, in order
to
format all the pages:

#!/bin/sh

# Make sure they gave us an arg
if [ $# -lt 1 ]; then
  echo "Usage: `basename $0` [mandirs...]"
  exit 255
fi

while [ $# -ge 1 ]; do
  if [ ! -d $1 ]; then
    echo "$1: arguments should be 'man' directories"
  else
    dir=`cd $1; pwd`
    filelist=`find $dir/man? -type f`
    for file in $filelist; do
      entry=`basename $file`
      outdir=`dirname $file`
      outdir=`echo $outdir |sed 's/man\(.\)$/cat\1/'`
      mkdir -p $outdir
      echo "Formatting entry for $entry..."
      groff -T ascii -m man $file >$outdir/$entry
    done
  fi
  shift
done
