TODO
-use time stamps and inodes in the database to determine if things need to be updated.
-take care of all the warnings that come out when doing a full import.
-make the db user and password and connection info also be read from a configuration file.
-do the ps,dvi and html importing.
-do file types with File::Mime or someting and not according to the file name.
-handle symbolic links by having multiple entries with the same manual content (two tables).
-make the ability to run man --path and get the result in order to get the actual directories. Actually make a man tool which can either run man --path or read the man conf files (/etc/man.config) to in order to get the relevant paths.
