Pandoc is interesting:
https://pandoc.org/
It is available in Gentoo unstable, but not Gentoo stable. And only
depends on 129 unstable Haskell packages. Ouch.
It can convert between most doc formats. So maybe I can use it to
convert the existing .xml manpage to asciidoc.
It generates some interesting bad results. Much cleaner results can be
derived from the docbook -> manpage -> asciidoc conversion chain. except
for doc/ where I cut the middle step and manually grafted some things.
Quotes are off for the former though. Other chains will produce
different results.
