But groff *is* a tool required for building documentation. There are more documents than mdoc in the source tree. And there's no reason to remove groff just because you're introducing mdocml. mdocml is possibly a good idea; a better one IMO would be to replace the whole mdoc crud with something better, produce tools to format it, and leave groff the way it is. Then you could migrate the man pages gradually. Greg -- See complete headers for address and phone numbers. This message is digitally signed.
