I see.  It's unfortunate that our man page doesn't include the version
it documents in the page itself.  I will look into adding that.

Currently all our translations are handled through the TP
(https://translationproject.org/html/welcome.html ).  I'm not sure if
they support translations of man pages etc. or what would be involved
with distributing other translations in the GNU make package.

At first glance I lean towards documentation translations being
provided separately from the GNU make package: it seems more useful to
allow these to be updated and distributed asynchronously.
