Hi,
while building the Debian package of xymon I noticed two issues with re-generating the HTML man pages:
a) Generating the man pages places the current day in the header, so the files cannot be generated reproducible (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reproducible_builds). Using SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH (if it is set) solves this problem.
b) Without "-H localhost" as parameter of man2html the generated HTML files differ from what is packaged in the tarball. So I added this option.
The attached patch implements these two cases.
Greetings Roland
