Is there a Gnu package somewhere that would let me view unformatted man page 
files, e.g. date.1?  I know I could try to port Groff but this seems 
excessive.

I have converted man pages to HTML using man2html, which works OK, but means 
I have to flip into Netscape.  Another alternative would be Lynx - has 
anyone ported this to Gnu-Win32?
