	* stap.1.in: Moved some content out.
	* Makefile.am (man_MANS): Add new man pages.
	* configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Add them.
	* systemtap.spec.in: Package them.
	* Makefile.in, configure: Regenerated.
	* buildrun.cxx (run_pass): Pass "-r" to stpd.
	* translate.cxx (emit_common_header): Wrap try/catch around
	variable decls, to improve exception particularity.
	(visit_literal_number): Emit as unsigned literal, which is
	actually a subtle correctness issue.

+.SH NAME
+stapfuncs \- systemtap functions
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The following sections enumerate the public functions provided by
+standard tapsets installed under /usr/share/systemtap/tapset.  Each
+function is described with a signature, and its behavior/restrictions.
+The signature line includes the name of the function, the type of
+its return value (if any), and the names and types of all parameters.
+The syntax is the same as printed with the 
+.IR stap " option " -p2 .
+Examples:
+
+.TP
+example1:long (v:string, k:long)
+Function "example1" does something with the given string and integer.
+It returns some integer.
+
+.TP
+example2:unknown ()
+Function "example2" does something.  There is no explicit return value
+and it takes no parameters.
+
+.SS LOGGING
+
+.TP
+printk:unknown (msg:string)
+Log the given string to the kernel's printk buffer, at KERN_INFO severity.
+Append an implicit end-of-line.
+
+.TP
+log:unknown (msg:string)
+Log the given string to the common trace buffer.  Append an implicit
+end-of-line.

+any new probe handlers, and end the systemtap session as soon
+as possible.
+
+.TP
+exit:unknown ()

+.B not
