+This script generates the manpage.

+Example: gen.pl mainpage > curl.1

+Dev notes:
+
+We open *input* files in :crlf translation (a no-op on many platforms) in
+case we have CRLF line endings in Windows but a perl that defaults to LF.
+Unfortunately it seems some perls like msysgit can't handle a global input-only
+:crlf so it has to be specified on each file open for text input.
