I agree with Justin (and probably others) to remove these files.
And I suggest to remove the entire man/ section and to create
them on the fly from HTML pages using g.html2man script. For me
it is much extra work to keep the MAN and HTML in sync. Why not
using the computer to to this work?
The g.html2man might need some few updates to support all important
HTML tags, but it is rather good. The last 30 man pages I generated
by this script from HTML.

What do you think?
