[docbook-apps] Man page stylesheet and groff hyphenation character

Howdy:
I've been using the man page stylesheet and noticed that function
names, man page references, environment variables, etc. were being
hyphenated. I modified the stylesheets at a few places to output the
groff hypenation character (\%) before the text; this prevents the
first word of the text from being hyphenated.
Is there a better way of accomplishing this? Is it worthwhile to apply
these changes to the source tree?
Cheers,
Ryan
