The intended use of the manpages generated through texi2pod is for viewing
with "man" only, since users have clearly shown that they do want a proper
manpage for viewing this way.  For printing or HTML you should go directly
from the Texinfo sources (with texi2dvi, and makeinfo --html (preferably
with texinfo 4.0b, to support non-monolithic output) or texi2html).
