Hi Charlie,
> All they're doing is putting mdocml in base to handle manpages.
http://mdocml.bsd.lv/
DESCRIPTION
mdocml is a suite of tools compiling "-mdoc", the roff macro package
of choice for BSD manual pages, and "-man", the predominant
historical package for UNIX manuals. The mission of mdocml is to
deprecate groff, the GNU roff implementation, for displaying -mdoc
pages whilst providing token support for -man.
Why? groff amounts to over 5 MB of source code, most of which is C++
and all of which is GPL. It runs slowly, produces uncertain output,
and varies in operation from system to system. mdocml strives to fix
this (respectively small, C, ISC-licensed, fast and regular).
"uncertain output"?
Cheers,
Ralph.
