A version of man2html is part of AutoGen. See here:
http://autogen.sourceforge.net/index.html and here:
http://autogen.sourceforge.net/man2html.html.

I see that AutoGen is available from Cygwin Ports
(ftp://sourceware.org/pub/cygwinports/portslist.txt), but I don't know
if man2html is included in the package.


If there's interest, I could look into moving this project out of
Cygwin Ports and into Cygwin itself.
