Hi,
This is not stricly really related with this thread, but I started to
re-write the ocaml man pages a while ago and to convert them to docbook .
My working repo is here, if you're interesting in helping out. The idea
is then to use the same pages to write ocamlduce and jocaml man pages as
well... There is still quite a bit of work to do...
ciao
:)
