This would be implemented via a run_target() that runs a specific built executable on install with help2man which generates a man page. Then we compress it and install it.

So far, pango needs it for its Meson port, but other projects would use it too, I'm sure.

To be fair, I'd rather port Pango's pango-view utility to docbook and use xsltproc, like we do in GTK+ — but I'm sure other projects would be glad to have help2man support. :-)
