Using docbook for man pages

Hi,

For one of my c-ares changeset, I need to write a manual page. I've
noticed that all the manpages are written in directly in roff. Have you
  ever considered using docbook/sgml for authoring and convert it to
roff at install time?

I'd volunteer converting the existing manpages to the new format.

Cheers,
Gregor
