*even* nicer would be to have a Python script that groks through main.py and 
*generates* an up-to-date man page based on some template text, adding the 
help text for the current commands.

Non-live documentation tends to get broken very quickly, so anything that can 
be semi-automatically rebuilt is a definite plus.

Cheers,
Mark
