sorry to crash your party, but i think you've got something there
with the usage() example. this could reduce man executable to

Yeah?
Not for man -k (apropros).
Craps! ... maybe someone smarter can figure out a solution
for that, like run through $PATH, and recursively run man on
each executable found, pipe through fancy grep & sed ...
regardless, I don't think we should give up on this! This could
possibly be a GSoC project for someone ... even.
Can't you use the waf build infrastructure to achieve this? It's way
more efficient.
