Hmmm... You got me wondering... I hadn't updated my working copy of groff in
a long while. I just tried to compile an up-to-date CVS snapshot and it
failed miserably with Cygwin (1.5.5-1), both with the POSIX and with the
MinGW compilers on the same spot (gcc (GCC) 3.3.1 (cygming special)):

Sooo... My suggestion is that you grab a copy of MinGW groff 1.19.1 from
http://gnuwin32.sf.net/. It isn't the latest and greatest but it sure works!
