Here's a hack to make preformatted (PostScript) man pages possible. You need
to set FMTMANPAGES to activate it, and you should have lots of
disk space and time to use it. Actually I would like some better
way (maybe installing the unformatted troff source, and troffing whole
manuals could be done?)
