FWIW, I think that binary zips should include ONLY formatted man
pages.  We don't want to request end users to install Groff (it's a
large package).

But if you do have unformatted man pages, you don't need to run for
the Unix box, since the ported Groff will let you format them on your
machine.  See section 5.5 of the FAQ for details.
