;
; Description:    Enhanced manual browser. Invoke with "M-x man".
;
;    Numerous changes from the distribution version:
;
;    - runs "man" in background mode, so you can keep editing while your
;    man page is prepared.
;
;    - renames man page buffers using the manual topic, thus supports
;    multiple man pages open at once.
;
;    - man buffers have their own major mode with special keybindings.
;    Type ? in a man buffer for details.
;
;    - provides highlighting and mouse support under epoch. Type ? for a
;    list of the mouse bindings.
;
;    Still needs: support for "man -k".
