Completely reconstruct page. Make it mdoc(7) style compatible also :)

Page still needs some work about english refinements and some actualization.

-.Nd Provide a simple ncurses-based "GUI" interface.
-.Sh DESCRIPTION
-The dialog library attempts to provide a fairly simplistic set of
-fixed-presentation menus, input boxes, gauges, file requestors and
-other general purpose "GUI" (a bit of a stretch, since it uses
-ncurses) objects.  Since the library also had its roots in a
-shell-script writer's utility (see the \fBdialog(1)\fR command), the
-early API was somewhat primitively based on strings being passed in or
-out and parsed.  This API was later extended to take either the
-original arguments or arrays of \fBdialogMenuItem\fR structures,
-giving the user much more control over the internal behavior of each
-control.  The \fBdialogMenuItem\fR structure internals are public:
-
-.nf
-typedef struct _dmenu_item {
-   char *\fBprompt\fR;
-   char *\fBtitle\fR;
-   int (*\fBchecked\fR)(struct _dmenu_item *self);
-   int (*\fBfire\fR)(struct _dmenu_item *self);
-   int (*\fBselected\fR)(struct _dmenu_item *self, int is_selected);
-   void *\fBdata\fR;
-   char \fBlbra\fR, \fBmark\fR, \fBrbra\fR;
-} \fBdialogMenuItem\fR;
-.fi
-
-The \fBprompt\fR and \fBtitle\fR strings are pretty much self-explanatory,
-and the \fBchecked\fR and \fBfire\fR function pointers provide optional
-display and action hooks (the \fBdata\fR variable being available for
-the convenience of those hooks) when more tightly coupled feedback between
-a menu object and user code is required.  The \fBselected\fR hook also
-allows you to verify whether or not a given item is selected (the cursor is
-over it) for implementing pretty much any possible context-sensitive
-behavior. A number of clever tricks for simulating various kinds of item
-types can also be done by adjusting the values of \fBlbra\fR
-(default: '['), \fB\mark\fR (default: '*' for radio menus, 'X' for check menus)
-and \fBrbra\fR (default: ']') and declaring a reasonable \fBchecked\fR hook,
-which should return TRUE for the `marked' state and FALSE for `unmarked.'
-If an item has a \fBfire\fR hook associated with it, it will also be called
-whenever the item is "toggled" in some way and should return one of the
-following codes:
-.nf
-
-#define DITEM_SUCCESS            0      /* Successful completion */
-#define DITEM_FAILURE           -1      /* Failed to "fire" */
-#define DITEM_LEAVE_MENU        -2      /* Treat selection as "Ok" */
-#define DITEM_REDRAW            -3      /* Menu has changed, redraw it */
-
-Two special globals also exist for putting a dialog at any arbitrary
-X,Y location (the early designers rather short-sightedly made no provisions
-for this).  If set to zero, the default centering behavior will be in
-effect.

-\fBdialog_ftree\fR shows a tree described by the data from the file
