[waffle] waffle man pages & 80 columns

Debian's lintian tool is flagging a manpage-has-errors-from-man warning on:
* waffle_config.3
* waffle_context.3
* waffle_display.3
* waffle_is_extension_in_string.3
* waffle_window.3
I guess the issue is that these man pages have issues with reflowing
lines > 80 characters.
The usage of docbook gives an extra level of indirection in solving
this. :) Google did not provide any useful tips either.
Anyone have any thoughts on how to fix this?
