# Usage: x-to-1 [OPTIONS] PERL HELP2MAN [HELP2MAN-OPTIONS] EXECUTABLE PROGRAM.x PROGRAM.1
# where
#
# PERL The file name of the perl program.
# HELP2MAN Either the file name of the help2man perl script, or a complete
# command such as "$PERL -w -- help2man".
# HELP2MAN-OPTIONS Options to pass to the help2man perl script.
# EXECUTABLE The file name of the program to invoke with --help.
# PROGRAM The name of the program.
# PROGRAM.x The .x skeleton is a file containing manual page text that is
# not part of the --help output. It is passed to help2man via
# its --include option. Its format is described in the help2man
# documentation.
# PROGRAM.1 The output file, a manual page in mandoc format.
#
# Options:
# --update Don't overwrite the output if nothing would change.
#
# Configure-time prerequisites:
#
# PERL Can be set through
# ac_aux_dir_abs=`cd $ac_aux_dir && pwd`
# AC_PATH_PROG([PERL], [perl], [$ac_aux_dir_abs/missing perl])
# or, alternatively, by the Gnulib 'perl' module.
#
# CROSS_COMPILING Can be set through
# CROSS_COMPILING=$cross_compiling
# AC_SUBST([CROSS_COMPILING])
# The variable 'cross_compiling' is set by AC_PROG_CC.
