The eclass-to-manpage.awk lacks proper escaping within the @CODE blocks. In particular:

[…]
# @CODE
# somefunc \
#   somearg \
#   || die
# @CODE

will be joined into a single line with multiple spaces in the manpage. If I used \\, the manpage is fine but the 'in-code' look of the example suggests double-escaping.

i'm only supporting trailing backslashes due to their commonality.  you're on your own with any other ones.
