Since Solaris 2.7 (I think) sources of man pages are written in SGML and
Sun provides a converter (sgml2roff). I've patched woman-process-buffer
to call this converter for SGML sources.
I'd appreciate if any other Solaris user could test this.
I've attached a patch that handles SGML man sources.
Additionally this patch contains 3 more changes (that I've mentioned
recently).
1. regeneration of cache on demand instead of automatically
2. an (autoloaded) function woman-recreate-cache (I prefer to regenerate my
cache with a cron job cause it takes very long).
3. Instead of offering all the completions in a completion buffer, the first
man page in MANPATH is shown as default in minibuffer (pressing ? will
show the completion buffer)
Maybe Francis can make use of some of these changes.

There are three ways to get something done:
(1) Do it yourself.
(2) Hire someone to do it for you.
(3) Forbid your kids to do it.
