New version of man by Semyon Novikov. Manual pages should be located in c:\\man for now, later it will be enhanced to environment variable.

I have changed the makefile so it is compatible with ReactOS, and compiles just by running 'make'. There are some warnings also, but I didn't have time to fix them.
