[PATCH v1 0/2] man: Formatting fixes

Hi Jason,

Here are a couple of patches for improving the formatting of the manual
page.

The first one allows groff(1) to know where sentences end.  This can be
done either by using 2 spaces to separate sentences, or by ending the
line after period.  The latter is preferred.

The second patch makes it so that the '-' can be pasted firectly from
the manual page into the command line.  When writing '-' in the source
of a manual page, the formatter prints a hyphen.  For a hyphen-minus
--the ASCII character--, one needs to write '\-'.

Cheers,
Alex
