Huh?! For me, this patch leads to:

rst2man --strict --no-raw dim.rst >/dev/null
NotImplementedError: docutils.writers.manpage.Translator visiting unknown node type: inline
Exiting due to error.  Use "--traceback" to diagnose.
Please report errors to <docutils-users at lists.sf.net>.
Include "--traceback" output, Docutils version (0.13.1 [release]),
Python version (2.7.13), your OS type & version, and the
command line used.
Makefile:49: recipe for target 'mancheck' failed
make: *** [mancheck] Error 1

The issue here is that even after the "sphinxification" we need to have
the man pages render using rst2man to have them work properly via 'dim
help'. The ".. code-block::" directive is, AFAICT, a sphinxism.

Why the colons at the end?
