Just to note that manpages/test-manpages of the nmh test suite runs groff, if available, to detect problems in man pages. (The nmh test suite is run with "make check".)

groff has a mode where it will warn about errors in manpages. The ones about 'no such file or directory' are false positives because we're running on the source tree, not an installed set of manpages. The rest are probably worth fixing. We should also make the makefile run this if configure detects groff, for the benefit of developers.
