Instead of installing converted man-pages, use the pre-built man-pages instead. Signed-off-by: Holger Dengler <dengler@linux.ibm.com>
Remove the man-page conversion target and change it to an explicit update-man target. The conversion script has been relocated to the misc/ sub-directory. The script now also gets reasonable defaults for the source and target directory, so that it can also used manually without parameters. Signed-off-by: Holger Dengler <dengler@linux.ibm.com>

This PR changes the way, how to deal with the man -pages. Not all build environments provide pandoc, which is used to convert the man-markdown files to man-pages in troff. The project now provides pre-built man-pages (troff), so that the install passes also in build environments without pandoc.
The README is extended with a brief section, how to update teh pre-built man-pages after updating the markdown files.
This PR closes #47.
