Personally I don't see the point of USE_ASCIIDOCTOR_MANPAGE at all. The only reason I added it was because Martin requested it [1].

It would be nice of you and Martin could make a decision about this, and I would just implement what you decide (or other people willing to collaborate on this).

I don't have an opinion on this.

If no decision is reached, I'll make USE_ASCIIDOCTOR_MANPAGE imply USE_ASCIIDOCTOR as you suggest.

Cheers.
