Thanks Romain, your pages have been added. I'd love to find a way to automate making man pages out of the Wiki API pages...I'm sure there are dozens of ways - anybody know of a particularly elegant one?

This doesn't apply to a Trac wiki, but see [mdwn2man](http://git.ikiwiki.info/?p=ikiwiki;a=blob;f=mdwn2man;hb=HEAD) from the ikiwiki project for the script they use to generate manpages out of (simple, constrained) mdwn files in an ikiwiki.

Sigh, wrong wiki syntax, ironically. :)

man pages are pretty dated that are included. for example, the wminput man page mentions /usr/share/doc/wminput/wminput.conf.sample, which doesn't exist. These should at least have a warning in them about being outdated for now until they are updated.
