Hi list,

Some ports use the "man" macros, these manual pages fail with the new
port groff:

$ man mysql
man: Formatting manual page...
troff: fatal error: can't find macro file an

I can see a macro file called "tmac.an.old" in the groff port, but there
is no "tmac.an".

Also, there is no "tmac.andoc", so when building e.g.
"mail/mutt/snapshot,sidebar,compressed", I get this at the end:
