I thing groff should be in DEPEND

vs  forcing groff in as a dep can we make it optional?
Like pregen the man pages elsewhere?
groff brings in a bunch of undesirable things along with it in the deptree.

possible solutions:

- groff is requided only to compile so it could be added to DEPEND flag

- in each Makefile.dist lines that begins with CATMANPAGES, SEDMANPAGES and MAN
could be commented

It's only used for the man pages, so we could add a "man" USE flag and only
pull in groff as a dep if you want the man pages.

(In reply to comment #3)
> - in each Makefile.dist lines that begins with CATMANPAGES, SEDMANPAGES and MAN
> could be commented

Close. A working solution is to replace $(CATMANPAGES) with $(SEDMANPAGES) in
each Makefile.dist

3.0.3-r6 and 3.0.4_beta3-r1 have been updated to reflect this. Re-open if you
dis-agree.
