Stefan, could you please install your patch that implements
completions for `man'.  This is very useful.

Maybe later Kevin Ryde will add more code to man.el from his
man-completion.el.  Some useful things in man-completion.el are
the cache for `man -k', handling same names in different sections.

Also part of man-completion.el deals with man-completion-at-point
that returns a man page name as a string found at point.
I think this part should be properly integrated into the
"thing-at-point" framework.
