my preference is to keep source only in the repo, unless there is a good reason to keep the derivate man files (e.g. building the man pages from source is too complex). AFAIK pod2man is part of perl and can be expected to be found on Linux/BSD systems. I don't know about OSX. Windows does not use/install the man pages anyway (which is a pity. Maybe some Windows contributor wants to chime in here and do something about it). hence, if there is no objection, I will remove the outdated man pages and shell script to generate them. Yuv
