Does anyone know of a texi2man tool?  I know that texi2html exists.


(Personally, I detest the info format and the move from man to info.  The
man format was simple, lightweight and easy to use, whereas info is
cryptic and complex.  I've always wondered whether there was any technical
reason behind the info system, or whether it was just Stallman's desire to 
leverage emacs into everything he could possibly shoehorn it into.  And 
personally, I care little for what he blesses -- the man has gone from 
being the leader of the solution to being part of the problem.)
