As it seems, I am maintaining the roff manual pages.  Currently there is
a device list FAQ, which can be easily replaced by appropiate manuals.
Any comments about this example?  I first want to get all devices
documented, then we can care about describing them more in detail.

There should be a central archive for manual pages, any suggestions?
