Re: Bug#313266: Please switch away from c2man (to e.g. doxygen)

This sounds like a good summer project for me to tackle while I'm
redoing the rest of the documentation.  Phasing out c2man has been a
long time coming.

As far as this bug is concerned, though, Wine already have, and now use
its own c2man-like perl script. I just didn't notice when c2man was
removed from configure, and never removed the build-dependency from the
Debian packages. I can do so at the next upload I do.
