apparently we have to code it ourselves. actually i dont think that making an own pod2man in C is a big project. it seems upstreams busybox may be interested in a patch.
the busybox manpages are actually utterly useless, it's just a copy of each program's --help output. it seems the right approach is to make busybox pkg call a script that creates a manpage from each commands --help output, and get rid of the separate busybox-man package. alternatively, one could just add a tiny manpage that says to invoke command --help.
update: there's a busybox-man pkg now which installs busybox.1 i'm looking for a way that it creates subpages for cp, ls, etc so that you can call man ls from the command line and dont have to search in the busybox manpage.
