I don't quite understand why they need a *separate* script for the man pages

It seems plausible (though I don't actually know) that this is related to the fact that the MySQL documentation is handled by a completely different team, in a totally different part of Oracle, than MySQL proper. (Mind you, I'm not sure if that team is responsible for the man pages or just the formal manuals, which is quite pathetic of me given that said team has the same boss as I do, yet I've never learned if they maintain this bit or not...)
