Well, somebody has to do it.  Besides, it's true.  :)

(ok, nobody *has* to do it; Lily works quite well without cult
rcruiters.)

I found this:
@html
<!--- @@WEB-TITLE@@=Reference Manual --->
@end html

and I assumed that if you changed the Web-Title throughout refman, it
would change the titles only for the specified section.  I didn't
test it, though.

It would be nice if it could be done automatically, but adding the
titles manually isn't that much work.  I'm going to be reading
the whole manual section by section anyway; copy&pasting the
web-title stuff and changing the string isn't a big deal.  But
I still think it's a nice "introductory" project -- very much
like the Kernel Janitor stuff.
