When i was testing AsciiDoc last year, I wrote up several test pages, 
but I didn't really know what to add for content. Using AsciiDoc A2X  it 
was easy to make the actual man page

--> a2x --doctype manpage --format manpage wsjtx.1.txt

If we need one for each executable, would should probably take inventory 
of all aps and maybe make one Manpage or set of pages for all ? as allot 
of it overlaps
