Mdocml can't handle the non -doc/-an roff macro format files which
we distribute, as well as it does not produce print quality output,
since it does not understand font geometries. There are a bunch of
other issues too. People have also been talking about using heirloom
roff instead of groff; check the mailing lists. I am just moving the
last remnants of gpl stuff from /usr/src/gnu to /usr/local/external.
