There should be a README file in the package, and there's inline help
with the program with the `--help` flag.

What, in particular, would you like to see in the manpage? This would
help in writing one (and I would welcome patches that would create one
as well). If there's enough interest, I would write this as Sphinx
documentation and make that generate the manpage, which seems the
shortest path between a simple text format (rst) and the mangled mess of
backslashes that is manpage format. ;)

Obviously, if someone wants to undertake writing the manpage directly, I
have no objection of course.
