To make things easier, is there a (simple) way to convert the XML output
from (e.g.)

 v.category --interface-description 

to HTML? Then writing pages would be somewhat more 'fun' as all this
parameter/flags formatting got automated. Probably this could be
added to the local Makefile, so that the HTML man pages consisted of

 - part 1: autogenerated after (successful) compilation with
           --interface-description
 - part 2: a manually written description with is attached to part 1

So all the extra work of changing part 1 (params/flags) weren't required.

Just an incomplete idea,
