Well, I tried woman-find-file and read about woman-manpath but did not 
actually try that. I did now however and it seems to work. (Though I am 
running the CVS version of Emacs.) To me even those *.txt files looks 
like they are fontified ok, but I am not sure. I am not used to man and 
do not know much about it.

Links seems to work, but I did find a bug I believe. If you open 
man5/texinfo.5 and click the link "tex (1)" emacs seems to loop.
