Due to the replacement of 'man' with 'man-db', the man2html tool is no
longer available.
Is any man2html alternative available in a package?
Using "groff -man -Thtml" may be one, but this does not generate HTML links.

A version of man2html is part of AutoGen. See here:
http://autogen.sourceforge.net/index.html and here:
http://autogen.sourceforge.net/man2html.html.
I see that AutoGen is available from Cygwin Ports
(ftp://sourceware.org/pub/cygwinports/portslist.txt), but I don't know
if man2html is included in the package.
If there's interest, I could look into moving this project out of
Cygwin Ports and into Cygwin itself.

It is not because the upstream sources do not include such a component.
In Fedora, man2html is provided as a separate package based on the
man-1.6g sources:

Well, I could certainly do something similar.
