What waste could it be for me and possible some others (?) who wanted
to have it in info format to read it?!
I don't think any free software project would ever have been started
if there would be a "Don't start to code until you are willing to
mantain it or find somebdy else who do it" from all sides...

I don't want the info page to be the same as the manual ... manuals are
a totally other thing than just man pages ... i've just started to add
a few things from the man page which are important for me.... And there
will be no "mis-leading" in calling it alpha and put a note in
it.
