Comment(by atagar):

 > Sounds like an arm specific use case. I don't understand where anyone
 would want a "controller" library to parse the man page.

 You're focusing too much on how it works rather than what it does. 'Give
 me a human readable description of config option X' is a nice feature to
 have. And no, this isn't arm specific. Vidalia and other GUI controllers,
 for instance, would love to have this feature.
