iirc i was never in favor of it, but i might not be too opposed if
it's done in a sane way. but i really juet like being able to run "man
mplayer", hit the slash key, and instantly find any topic i want for
mplayer or mencoder. breaking up into lots of little man pages makes
finding the info you want a lot slower!
