James:
We've talked before concerning groff, my point being that
not supporting ditroff device independant format is a lossage for
groff, since indexers and high quality output postprocessors
won't be able to be used. I'd consider adding ditroff output
to groff myself. I've got TeX up here (but we never use it),
and Metafont (which we do use), and put G++ up during a time
when it wasn't stable.
I'd like to see the source to evaluate for myself the
probability of adding ditroff output format.
