I started writing the quagga style documentation for nhrpd.
This is what I have currently. It's mostly based on the existing
readme files, but now included in the generated docs properly.

+Runs in daemon mode, forking and exiting from tty.
+.TP
+\fB\-f\fR, \fB\-\-config-file \fR\fIconfig-file\fR

+.TP
+\fB\-A\fR, \fB\-\-vty_addr \fR\fIvty-address\fR
+Specify the address that the nhrpd VTY will listen on. Default is all
+interfaces.
+.TP
+\fB\-u\fR, \fB\-\-user \fR\fIuser\fR

+\fB\-v\fR, \fB\-\-version\fR
+Print the version and exit.

+.TP
+.BI /usr/local/sbin/nhrpd
+The default location of the
+.B nhrpd
+binary.
+.TP
+.BI /usr/local/etc/nhrpd.conf
+The default location of the
+.B nhrpd
+config file.
+.TP
+.BI $(PWD)/nhrpd.log
+If the
+.B nhrpd
+process is config'd to output logs to a file, then you will find this
+file in the directory where you started \fBnhrpd\fR.
+.SH WARNING
+This man page is intended to be a quick reference for command line
+options. The definitive document is the Info file \fBQuagga\fR.
+.SH DIAGNOSTICS
+The nhrpd process may log to standard output, to a VTY, to a log
+file, or through syslog to the system logs. \fBnhrpd\fR supports many
+debugging options, see the Info file, or the source for details.

+@chapter NHRP
+
+@command{nhrpd} is a daemon to support Next Hop Routing Protocol (NHRP).
+NHRP is described in RFC2332.
+
+NHRP is used to improve the efficiency of routing computer network
+traffic over Non-Broadcast, Multiple Access (NBMA) Networks. NHRP provides
+an ARP-like solution that allows a system to dynamically learn the NBMA
+address of the other systems that are part of that network, allowing
+these systems to directly communicate without requiring traffic to use
+an intermediate hop.
+
+Cisco Dynamic Multipoint VPN (DMVPN) is based on NHRP, and Quagga nrhpd
+implements this scenario.

+@node Routing Design
+@section Routing Design
+
+nhrpd never handles routing of prefixes itself. You need to run some
+real routing protocol (e.g. BGP) to advertise routes over the tunnels.
+What nhrpd does it establishes 'shortcut routes' that optimizes the
+routing protocol to avoid going through extra nodes in NBMA GRE mesh.
+
+nhrpd does route NHRP domain addresses individually using per-host prefixes.
+This is similar to Cisco FlexVPN; but in contrast to opennhrp which uses
+a generic subnet route.
+
+To create NBMA GRE tunnel you might use the following (linux terminal
+commands):
+@example
+@group
+ ip tunnel add gre1 mode gre key 42 ttl 64
+ ip addr add 10.255.255.2/32 dev gre1
+ ip link set gre1 up
+@end group
+@end example
+
+Note that the IP-address is assigned as host prefix to gre1. nhrpd will
+automatically create additional host routes pointing to gre1 when
+a connection with these hosts is established.
+
+The gre1 subnet prefix should be announced by routing protocol from the
+hub nodes (e.g. BGP 'network' announce). This allows the routing protocol
+to decide which is the closest hub and determine the relay hub on prefix
+basis when direct tunnel is not established.
+
+nhrpd will redistribute directly connected neighbors to zebra. Within
+hub nodes, these routes should be internally redistributed using some
+routing protocol (e.g. iBGP) to allow hubs to be able to relay all traffic.
+
+This can be achieved in hubs with the following bgp configuration (network
+command defines the GRE subnet):
+@example
+@group
+router bgp 65555
+ network 172.16.0.0/16
+ redistribute nhrp
+@end group
+@end example
+
+
+@node Configuring NHRP
+@section Configuring NHRP
+
+FIXME
+
+@node Hub Functionality
+@section Hub Functionality
+
+In addition to routing nhrp redistributed host prefixes, the hub nodes
+are also responsible to send NHRP Traffic Indication messages that
+trigger creation of the shortcut tunnels.
+
+nhrpd sends Traffic Indication messages based on network traffic captured
+using NFLOG. Typically you want to send Traffic Indications for network
+traffic that is routed from gre1 back to gre1 in rate limited manner.
+This can be achieved with the following iptables rule.
+
+@example
+@group
+iptables -A FORWARD -i gre1 -o gre1 \
+ -m hashlimit --hashlimit-upto 4/minute --hashlimit-burst 1 \
+ --hashlimit-mode srcip,dstip --hashlimit-srcmask 24 --hashlimit-dstmask 24 \
+ --hashlimit-name loglimit-0 -j NFLOG --nflog-group 1 --nflog-range 128
+@end group
+@end example
+
+You can fine tune the src/dstmask according to the prefix lengths you
+announce internal, add additional IP range matches, or rate limitation
+if needed. However, the above should be good in most cases.
+
+This kernel NFLOG target's nflog-group is configured in global nhrp config
+with:
+@example
+@group
+nhrp nflog-group 1
+@end group
+@end example
+
+To start sending these traffic notices out from hubs, use the nhrp
+per-interface directive:
+@example
+@group
+interface gre1
+ ip nhrp redirect
+@end group
+@end example
+
+@node Integration with IKE
+@section Integration with IKE
+
+nhrpd needs tight integration with IKE daemon for various reasons.
+Currently only strongSwan is supported as IKE daemon.
+
+nhrpd connects to strongSwan using VICI protocol based on UNIX socket
+(hardcoded now as /var/run/charon.vici).
+
+strongSwan currently needs few patches applied. Please check out the
+@uref{http://git.alpinelinux.org/cgit/user/tteras/strongswan/log/?h=tteras-release,release}
+and
+@uref{http://git.alpinelinux.org/cgit/user/tteras/strongswan/log/?h=tteras,working tree}
+git repositories for the patches.
