Kalle Olavi Niemitalo 5fcf175963 help2doc: rewrite in Perl
This version takes about 1/300 of the time of the shell version
and fixes several errors in the output, most importantly that
option descriptions were being truncated at the first empty line.

Because help2doc is run only from make update-man, and the distributed
tarballs include prebuilt man pages, people building ELinks need not
have Perl installed.
