Severity: wishlist

The attached patch adds a new check-man target to check our man pages
for errors.  I know we prefer info over man, but why not.  It will catch
mistakes, like using unknown macros, etc.

To test this, change a macro like ".B" to ".BBB" in doc/man/emacs.1 and
run "make check-man".
