d11578f916 - changed the way POD is generated such that the dashed
line appears at the bottom instead of the top.  The
  indentation semantics of POD make the first item in
  the (=over,=back) block look weird the other way.
- implemented a way to encode example usage into usage.h
  One would define a macro called "${applet}_example_usage"
  which would expand to the example text.
- The example usage is considered optional, but trivial and
  full usage are not.

  Here's an example using chown.

---- before

#define chown_trivial_usage \
	"[OPTION]...  OWNER[<.|:>[GROUP] FILE..."
#define chown_full_usage \
	"Change the owner and/or group of each FILE to OWNER and/or GROUP.\n" \
	"\nOptions:\n" \
	"\t-R\tChanges files and directories recursively."
#define chown_example_usage \
	"\t$ ls -l /tmp/foo\n" \
	"\t-r--r--r--    1 andersen andersen        0 Apr 12 18:25 /tmp/foo\n" \
	"\t$ chown root /tmp/foo\n" \
	"\t$ ls -l /tmp/foo\n" \
	"\t-r--r--r--    1 root     andersen        0 Apr 12 18:25 /tmp/foo\n" \
	"\t$ chown root.root /tmp/foo\n" \
	"\tls -l /tmp/foo\n" \
	"\t-r--r--r--    1 root     root            0 Apr 12 18:25 /tmp/foo\n"

---- after

=item I<chown>

chown [OPTION]...  OWNER[<.|:>[GROUP] FILE...

Change the owner and/or group of each FILE to OWNER and/or GROUP.

Options:

	-R	Changes files and directories recursively.

Example:

	$ ls -l /tmp/foo
	-r--r--r--    1 andersen andersen        0 Apr 12 18:25 /tmp/foo
	$ chown root /tmp/foo
	$ ls -l /tmp/foo
	-r--r--r--    1 root     andersen        0 Apr 12 18:25 /tmp/foo
	$ chown root.root /tmp/foo
	ls -l /tmp/foo
	-r--r--r--    1 root     root            0 Apr 12 18:25 /tmp/foo

e6967b20cb Added some documentation and made --sgml use sgml_from_usage().
pod_from_usage() is the default generator.

8373e70c55 During POD generation, it inserts a blank line before lines
that were intended to be indented.

df1e9daf30 This one should be able to deal with the USAGE macros a little
more robustly.  I also blow away any USAGE_NOT_\w+ macros.

8c16bc5012 minor cleanup... all that's left to do is
* make headers and footers for both the POD and SGML content
* make an SGML generator
* finish the command-line handling

Also, some of the documentation in usage.h will have to
be adjusted.  expr needs some lines to be indented, and
ls has a stray comma.  I may have missed some things...
but it looks OK for the most part.

e13bc0bc68 First pass at making up an automagical usage message extractor, which
will be used (when it works) to autogenerate documentation.  Based on
code written by Mark Whitley.

39573f7130 Wrap a table (bg set to black, width=80%) around the screenshot
so it doesn't look like crap in Netscape.  Should look fine in
Mozilla either way.  I think.
