Hi Branden!

I've always had trouble installing the correct dependencies for groff, since depending on what you compile you might need some more or some less dependencies, and there's not a clear list of what you need for what.

I suggest that you add a very schematic list similar to the one I added for the Linux man-pages project:

<https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/docs/man-pages/man-pages.git/tree/INSTALL#n73>

BTW, I acknowledge, that this list in the man-pages is not complete, because part of it is split into another file:

<https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/docs/man-pages/man-pages.git/tree/RELEASE#n14>

However, that's something I did on purpose, since distributing and installing from source are completely unrelated processes. I have considered merging them into INSTALL, though, and just point to that file from the RELEASE file. I'm not sure about this.

Cheers,

Alex
