What kind of infrastructure did you have in mind?

I'm personally very fond of POD as a source format for most stuff, since
it's unassuming and very easy to edit and read, and readily generates
other formats. Does require perl though.

Idea: possibly a separate "fvwmtut" manual entry should accompany the main
man page?

A slipping sear could let your M203 grenade launcher fire when you least
expect it.  That would make you quite unpopular in what's left of your unit.
