2013-02-06build-sys: create Makefile-man.am automaticallyZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
man rules were repeating the same information in too many places, which was error prone. Those rules can be easily generated from .xml files. For efficiency and because python is not a required dependency, Makefile-man.am is only regenerated when requested with make update-man-list If no metadata in man/*.xml changed, this file should not change. So only when a new man page or a new alias is added, this file should show up in 'git diff'. The change should then be committed. If the support for building from git without python was dropped, we could drop Makefile-man.am from version control. This would also increase the partial build time (since more stuff would be rebuild whenever sources in man/*.xml would be modified), so it would probably wouldn't be worth it.
2013-01-26make-directive-index: use original XML as index entriesZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
udev(7) fields are now display in whole, which looks much better.
2013-01-26man: extend systemd.directives(7) to all manual pagesZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
New sections are added: PAM options, crypttab options, commandline options, miscellaneous. The last category will be used for all untagged <varname> elements. Commandline options sections is meant to be a developer tool: when adding an option it is sometimes useful to be able to check if similarly named options exist elsewhere.

2012-09-17man: generate an index of directivesZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
Systemd has a large (and growing) number of manpages. Sometimes it's not immediately obvious, where to look for a directive. Especially, when something is described in more than one place. Making sense of all the settings should be easier with an index.
