Yes, not a bad idea.
But while we are discussing man page structure.. I have something
much more radical in mind: I want to split the man page into mplayer.1
and mencoder.1. I would have done this long ago, but I do not know
how to best handle the overlap of options between mplayer.1 and
mencoder.1. We have several possibilities:
1) duplicate everything
2) Put common options in mplayer.1 only.
3) Construct some build system magic that glues together the two man
pages from different man page snippets.
