I wonder if it would make any sense to take the effort to convert
markdown docs to html format before installing them.

I see two possibilities:

1. Create one or two eutils functions like
"domd": will go through all viable implementations like
markdown/markdown_py/Markdown.pl, convert the file and dohtml it. Is
no impelementation installed on the system it will fall back to plain
dodoc.
Optionally we could provide "md_depend" (like DEPEND="$(md_depend)")
to ensure that at least one implementation is present (might be useful
for very huge docs that are easier to read as html).

2. Introduce something like virtual/markdown... unfortunately the
"markdown" name is already reserved by app-text/discount, so I don't
really know how that would work out. And the supported arguments might
differ...

This is low priority, so if this is going to take more then little
work, I'll probably lose interest.
