Convert manpages #70

I know that this is not properly done and is not generic, but maybe it can help someone to solve their problem. Related to #23 and #24.

In order to merge this, at the very least, it needs tests.

Please don't merge it. It was just an ad-hoc solution for a specific problem, not a generic one that can be used in all the cases. Building a generic solution for converting all variants of DocBook manpages requires too much effort, and maybe is not worth the trouble. I published this patch hoping that it may serve as an example or starting point for people who need to convert manpages. But they will have to customize it to match their specific case.

Thanks for clarifying and for your candidness. I will link to this PR from the related issues for reference, but otherwise close this.
