I want to update the man page. Which file to edit? Inkscape.pod seems much more editable, but inkscape.1.in is more recent in the CVS, as pjrm changed it directly:

So, which one is the real source?
inkscape.pod is the one I used to produce the inkscape.1.in file. Editing the raw man syntax is a pain. IIRC, I used pod2man to make the man page itself.
The one issue I ran into is that the generator was titling the man page "User Contributed Perl Documentation", which of course it is not. I manually changed it to say "Scalable Vector Graphics Application", "Inkscape-0.36".
What we really ought to do is include directives in the makefile to run pod2man on the pod file as part of the make process, to generate the inkscape.1.in file, and then sed the title properly, including updating the version number.
