I had a thought over the weekend... It took me a while to get used to
but the git style of a manpage per subcommand and having "git COMMAND
--help" spawn man of that page works really well.

A long list of subcommands such as this gets a bit unwieldy. Having a
page per command also means you can take advantage of e.g. a SEE ALSO
for each command individually and things like that.

I think you've got all the content already it's just a matter of
separating it.

If we were feeling sneaky we could probably arrange for the build to
fail if no man page is available for a command listed in
xl_cmdtable.c };-)
