This seems to have fallen through the cracks and been completely
forgotten. Sorry about that.
Looking at this, I see that this is not a cygport package. While this
is something which has been done historically, and I know it may seen
overkill for something this small, it's something I'm very reluctant to
see in new packages.
The license which applies to the original work here needs to be stated.
It would be helpful if the description clarified that what this does is
"show italic text in man pages properly as italic, rather than as
underlined"
That said, this works and is pretty cool. Nice!
