I think it is worth being clear that we (NetBSD) have no great
investment in the purity of the original sources, right?   That
is, what we want is something that has the original text, and which
produces nice formatted (and perhaps even corrected/enhanced) readable
results, but there's no need to attempt to leave the troff formatting
noise unaltered - anything that's needed to be done to make the docs format
correctly with groff can be done to them once (or perhaps, once more)
then retained - we don't need procedures to repeat this over and over,
it isn't as if these docs are in a state of constant development such
that we might need to import next month's version a few weeks after
the current one.
