Where does it happen? Is this only a Man.pm issue?
Everywhere.
In Po, we rewrap the msgid making sure that the trailing spaces survive
(since they are important here). In TransTractor, we rewrap the content of
the translation if asked to by the module.

It's only 6KB, it's very light.

What I don't get at all is where do you want to use it.

It gave no problem, it's a cpan module. It's not yet in Gentoo, but if we
use it, I can make its package.
Ok, so I guess that's the way do go. Only, really not yet. I'm dead, man.
I'm not gonna make this fucking paper before the deadline.
