	Thanks for volunteering to rewrite our man pages, much appreciated!

	I'd encourage you to work on them without rushing it, though, as we  
wouldn't want to have beta quality documentation out there any  
longer ;-) Development on base has wound down already so I'll be  
branching hopefully pretty soon now; we don't mind shipping 1.6 with  
the old man pages still in place and delaying rolling out the new ones  
for a later time.

	But, please, by no means refrain from submitting what you have if you  
feel it's worth of review ;-)

	As for content, probably Simon and Mark are better guides for that,  
since they've been on the rewrite from the start and I haven't.
