HTML is easy to post on the web so folks can see how to use Catalyst
before installing it.  Once you've got it installed and setup your
first run, there's probably not much in the HOWTO that you haven't
already figured out, so I don't foresee lots of use for a man page.
It's easy enough to do though, so maybe we should build both?
