Hi Mauro,

sorry for my late reply, I finished the man-page builder last weekend.

> I'm merging from both Jon's doc-next tree and from media tree

Currently I'am working on a rebase on top of the Jon's docs-next branch
(with "s" in "docs-" / think it was only a typo). 

Hopefully I get this done in the next 2 days.

I will send a pull request when I'am finished / thanks for your
patience until then.

Regards
