[MPlayer-dev-eng] Oh. Manpage.

[Gabucino]

Hey manpage writers. Have you EVER tried measuring how much time does it take
to scroll the manpage even with _PAGE DOWN_ ?? I just did. Four (4) seconds.

How can someone reasonably expect someone to read _that_ ? Half the manpage are
only -lavcopts's alien options... And commonly used options are mixed up with
all the sophisticated ones that not even a totally bent human being would ever
use in his whole life. The only system that is present is the ABC-order.

Eh..

92% of the 3236 manpages on my system are below 20k in size.

I don't have the interest to change this (only a rewrite would satisfy me
anyway..), I just wanted to say that this is absolutely bloated and monolitic,
and I don't like it.

On the other hand, I must say it's quite a nice collection.
