I'll have a few more coming. Your project has man pages in places
I did not originally check.

The immediate purpose behind these is to clean everything up so it can
be automatically lifted to XML-DocBook by a tool I wrote for the
purpose. That in turn is a means to supporting automatic generatiion
of high-quality HTML that distro integrators can use to replace
man-page trees.

To this end, I hope your "some small changes" won't involve adding
low-level troff requests back in -- .br, .ti, and .in are especially
problematic.
