Excellent work, thanks.

I'm wondering if dropping SPI_* manpages is really what we want.  Maybe
we could add them to man section 3?  I know I've wanted to have them a
couple of times.

Not sure about dblink.

This was just the status quo.  We could add more manpages, sure.  (I'm 
interested in pgbench, in particular.)  It just needs someone to go through 
the generated output and verify that it is sane.

Oh, great.  I'll have a look at SPI pages.
