Please read the messages and attachments in this thread to see why this
idea is not considered good:

Something like docbook2info would create want you want automatically.

Just for the record, I find one big man page much more confortable than
multiple info pages. For cross-link documentation I prefer html and
possibly lynx. Your effort would be ineffective and probably incompatible
for users wanting man pages and html like me. Unlike the docbook effort.
