As a suggestion, if the PodViewer parser finds commands or whatever that
it doesn't understand, it might report on them within the TextView text
it produces, rather than carping.
Chances are that stdout/stderr are going somewhere the user won't see,
so the viewer window will be a better place to report problems.
pod2man these days makes an ERRORS section at the end of the document
for errors from the parser etc. I suppose there'd be a choice between a
message at the point the problem occurs, or summarized at the end.
I expect most problems are fairly minor things and might as well be just
at the end.
