i like it! #4

Hello!

Big thanks for this program, like it very much.

I had small issue with my setup - I had to remove MANROFFOPT="-c" from my env (used it for colored man pages). With it, qman was broken. So if anyone comes asking with same mystery issue "qman ugly/broken"... I switched to GROFF_NO_SGR=1 in my env, so my old man still paints colors (if i ever need it), and I see you are setting it up too, inside program.

Also, during install on archlinux from AUR, I was a bit shocked when it told me it needs to install all of haskell :) I understand it is pandoc for your markdown manual, but reading through dependencies I expected few packages as usual and got immediately suspicious of some shady stuff going on... You might put some warning in README.

Anyway, thanks!

Hello, and thank you for your kind words.

I added a setenv() to reset MANROFFOPT to an empty string before calling /bin/man. Hopefully, this fixes the MANROFFOPT="-c" problem.

I also added a warning about pandoc's dependencies to README.md. (Though, ideally, in future perhaps we should provide a pre-built manual page to avoid installing all that Haskell nonsense entirely.)

Thanks again!
