Support for man pages in the help plugin

@Ceniza: thanks :).

@all: since we 're on the topic, I hope you know about rjmyst's excellent wiki article about integrating Yelp with C::B. I find it very convenient :).
For those who don't know, yelp is the help viewer of gnome so the article applies to all gnome-based distros.

Another alternative would be to utilize beagle. Just use this command: beagle-search $(keyword).

Ceniza:
New features:

* Zoom in and zoom out: increases/decreases font size.
* List of matches: if more than one entry is found, show them all, so you can choose which one you want.

The nice thing about the latter is that you can use file wildcards (*, ?) and it'll show you a list with everything it found. For example, if you search *mutex* it'll give you a list (if you have the man pages) of all the mutex related stuff for pthreads, and, in my case, also two hits for SDL (SDL_mutexP and SDL_mutexV).

Have fun :)

So I just used this for the first time tonight, because I wanted to lookup memcmp. It was not found - so I realized I need to install the libc man pages.

Just in case someone else ran into that problem, the package you need for ubuntu (and all debian variants??) is: manpages-dev

After I installed that, it worked as expected - and it was very nice  :D
Good work!

I can't wait to test this !  :o
