Pod::Text - convert POD data to formatted ASCII text

Pod::Text is a module that can convert documentation in the POD format (such
as can be found throughout the Perl distribution) into formatted ASCII.
Termcap is optionally supported for boldface/underline, and can enabled via
$Pod::Text::termcap=1. If termcap has not been enabled, then backspaces
will be used to simulate bold and underlined text.
A separate pod2text program is included that is primarily a wrapper for
Pod::Text.
The single function pod2text() can take one or two arguments. The first
should be the name of a file to read the pod from, or ``<&STDIN'' to read from
STDIN. A second argument, if provided, should be a filehandle glob where
output should be sent.

Cleanup work. The input and output locations need to be more flexible,
termcap shouldn't be a global variable, and the terminal speed needs to
be properly calculated.
