I've now looked at them and you're completely right -- just splicing
text together at random is *not* a good idea when it comes to asciidoc
syntax... I really don't like the syntax, it makes nested lists look
absolutely horrible with '+'-signs between each paragraph...
But I've now gotten the man pages somewhat into shape:

The hg.1 man page is still broken since it is mostly built from text
extracted from the docstrings. I'll have to mess with gendoc.py to make
it more intelligent about escaping and so.
