The attached patch corrects case sensitivity in the mandocs make target.
XML is case insensitive, and a bunch of the kernel-doc assumes this. The
makeman and splitman scripts incorrectly cared about case. This patch also
updates the Docbook DTD version which the script generates.

This patch takes into account requests from various LKML members for the
mandocs output to be more terse. Information about the copyright, and
formatting of the man page is moved into a comment at the start of the
groff output.

Originally by Michael Still <mikal@stillhq.com>
This patch adds two new targets to the docbook makefile -- mandocs, and
installmandocs. The targets require two new perl scripts in the scripts/
directory, but in return we get a series of man pages for kernel
functions, which are installed in man section 9. This is a good thing, as
many programmers expect documentation to be available with man, and
hunting through various PS or PDF documents to find the documentation for
the function you want can be quite frustrating.
The man pages are just extracted from the various existing DocBook SGML
documents, which are generated by kernel-doc. You also need to have
docbook2man installed on your machine.
Please note the formatting is not perfect, but I will tweak
other stuff later with further patches -- this is just an initial
implementation.
