The comments should explain what the code does.  Let me know which
parts are unclear.

I considered this possibility, but rejected it: since we display the
man page even before the async subprocess exits, it would mean that
the displayed portion is not fontified until the very end, which would
render the entire idea of formatting in the background useless, and
would have use behave on all platforms as we do on MS-DOS.
