                 Summary: [PATCH] grog/subs.pl: Ignore lines added in front of
".TH" by  "pod2man" => grog: incorrectly infers man pages produced by pod2man

Follow-up Comment #2:

The supplied patch is inappropriate since it is not conditional on the input
document being a man page.  It's hard to know that so early in the input
stream.  Relying upon the form of the filename was not reliable and that code
is now removed anyway.

We need a better way to avoid being misled by all of the non-man(7) noise that
pod2man injects into man pages.  I'm thinking about the problem.
