Dynamic, or automatic? I mean, are you writing man pages and updating 
them frequently, so you need a way to get an updated HTML version 
on-the-fly? Or do you just want a way to take existing man pages and 
convert them en-masse to HTML?

Not that I have an immediate, perfect solution either way, but you got 
me interested.
