Nicolas suggested to me to convert them temporarily to HTML to make it easier 
to preview and to comment on them, so here they are:
http://pkg-boinc.alioth.debian.org/manpages/boinc_client.1.html
http://pkg-boinc.alioth.debian.org/manpages/boinc_cmd.1.html
http://pkg-boinc.alioth.debian.org/manpages/boincmgr.1.html

As I said in my previous mail, they are far away from being perfect, currently 
they do not contain much more than what each application prints to stdout 
when invoked with the --help options. I would like to extend them however 
with some of the information that is also present in the wiki pages 
UnixClient, BoincCmd, and ManagerAdvanced.

Regards,
Frank
