I think an automatically parted document will not have the quality as an
manually structured one. Also reference links will not be possible as I
guess. Also all fvwm modules could be covered in this single
html-document, too.

The only advantage of the currently existing man page is, that it is
quickly opened (you just need an open shell) and that you easily can
search through the whole document. But IMHO this advantage is not big
enough to vote for the man page solution.

But ok, when I have time I will test the quality of the result of man2html.
