 ENOPARSE (I read that sentence in the manual myself, and didn't
 understand it.) Same options when using the compiler as to when
 what?
 
 My demo program/Makefile is about the minimum I could distill the
 mantohtml rules used when making the cups package - at least I
 think so, and it breaks the same way on arm as the mantohtml, and
 works the same way on i386 and amd64 as mantohtml. If options should
 be added for right usage, please advise.
