Markus,

You may want to look at bug 45309, in which I submitted a fairly
extensive patch to kio_man.cpp and man2html.cpp to handle long section
names and the associated manpage directories - this patch is still
being evaluated (I hope!).  It doesn't address the problem of SGML man
pages, but there is a simple workaround for that, at least on Solaris:
"catman -c".

Regards
  Jonathan
