Basic GUI man-page browser/viewer

Absolutely caveman simple GUI tool to search and view man pages. The top bar is for search and results appear in the main pane for choosing and opening, the bottom bar is for if you already know the name of the page and just want to open it. You can have multiple pages open, they are spawned by the main C+GTK window as separate instances of a yad text-info dialog, nice and readable. It uses apropos to search and only requires yad and gtk. Finished up some more tweaks today, now just need to test for a few days before posting it up on git and making a package. Tiny binary of 28k, only about 250 lines of code so it's nice and fast, and apropos does a nice job of searching.

Pics have been re-sized to be smaller and load faster for forums, so you can't click through for a larger view
