The problem here is that the manlookup function has a _very_ hungry
method for SupportsItem.

When you type man in the first pane, do has to run this function on
every type of SupportedItem in the universe, which in this case is an
ApplicationItem, ManualPageItem, or TextItem.

I think the logical thing to do here is move this function and don't
check every supported item in the universe right away.  This method
could be moved to Perform, so that when the man page action runs, it
will have to check if that application has a supported manual.

Worst case scenario: the plugin will try to find a man page for an
application that doesn't have one.  Here we could just politely inform
the user that the is no man page for that application.

I'll mess around with it a little later.
