There are a couple of things about the manual-entry function that I
would change if I had a say...

1. Generate the output to a buffer named

     '*' <topic> [ '.' <section> ] '-manual*'

   because at the time that you're reading a man page, you'll need to
   look at a couple of others.  I think this falls in line with the
   potato-chip phenomenah - betcha can't read just one!

2. Run this thing in the background, in a fashion similar to the
   compile function.  It just takes a while to run this baby
   sometimes...
