The only quirk is that man pages in the X.org tree are not identical to
the ones in the OpenGL SI.  The process for building the man pages in
the SI into something that 'nroff -man' will accept
is...uh..."interesting".  I think that may be changing soon, though.
There has been disucssion of converting the existing man pages to a
DocBook format similar to what OpenGL ES uses.
