[Yum-devel] yum-utils, man pages, etc.

I pulled down yum and yum-utils CVS to start poking at making
improvements.  I'm not a Python programmer -- I come from the Perl side
of things.  It appears Python does not have something similar to POD
which can then be run through utilities like pod2man to extract man
pages.  I found mention of HappyDoc, help2man and others on python.org.

How would Yum developers like to see yum-utils documented?  It appears
the few yum-utils that use optparser have help already defined, so
help2man might be a quick win in making man pages automatically in the
Makefile.
