Feature request: remove the dependancy on man for help

[ScrumpyJack]

It would be nice not to have a dependancy on man and the rover man page for in application help.

I don't know what's your specific use case, but man pages can be converted in plain text or html.

Dependencies are undesirable, but I haven't bothered too much with man because I already need it for everything else in Unix. The only thing I have considered is adding the option to display a simple table of key bindings from inside Rover. It would remove the need for consulting the manual all the time. As a bonus, it would show the actual key bindings compiled in (from config.h), not the default ones.

"I don't know what's your specific use case" I'm packaging rover for Alpine Linux, which splits man pages into separate package.

Sorry, I don't think I will implement in-application help (or any other nontrivial feature, for that matter) in the near future. I'm leaving this issue open in case anyone else is interested and can write the code.
