Looking into this a bit closer, I see that there is some overlap between the content, but not 100% -- there is (intentionally) some unique information in each. I think the unique information comes from my assumption that the current hwloc.doxy was intended as a high-level document and the man pages were a bit more detailed.
Is that a correct assumption, or should they reflect exactly the same information? I don't think I have a strong opinion here -- I probably somewhat prefer a high-level PDF document and lower-level man pages.
If we keep them separate, I think I'd be in favor of splitting much of the top of hwloc-bind.1in off into hwloc.1in and having each of the tool man pages refer to it.
Howzat?
