I agree, we need to think about how to arrange our documentation. Right
now the manual is just a description of hte command line options and a
very verbose description of the various UIs.

If it's called MANUAL, I think, it can take some more explanations,
tipps and tricks, and example configurations, to make it a real
manual. The most interesting part right now is in the FAQ (as a user) or
the API docs (as a developer).
