Helle Tatsuya,

I asked Justin Rye to have a look on the manpage file w3mman.1 with
respect to English language. He passed me a diff file that could be
applied to yield an improved file w3mman.1.

Find the file attached.

Best regards
Markus

Could do with some trivial reformatting.

It does have some gibberish sentences, but fortunately it's largely a
drop-in replacement for a well-known piece of software, so there's not
much for it to say.  In fact I might as well give you a diff right
now.

I notice things go horribly wrong when I set W3MMAN_W3M to anything
other than w3m.  That deserves a minor bug report.
