(Overlong lines are left alone -- they don't bother me.)

tweaks: change the man-page markup of options that take an argument
...
This is an attempt to work around a bug in the Debian HTML-renderer of
manual pages: see how after "-C" everything is in italics [1], instead
of just the "directory" arguments. (The renderer for Arch Linux does
even worse, showing the first argument in bold italics [2].)
The old markup was fine, though, as `groff` had no problem generating
properly formatted HTML [3].
