Well, the simplest is
vi exim-distrib-directory/doc/spec.txt
:-)
I am not prepared to maintain both the comprehensive reference manual,
AND separate man pages containing the same information. Also, I cannot
see any easy way of automatically generating man pages from the manual.
And how would you split up the manual into man pages? One per chapter?
In that case, why not just use the HTML format? It has an index and
table of contents, which are necessary adjuncts to a document of that
size.
Then there's the PostScript version for printing, of course...
