Unversioned tarball, but it doesn't appear likely to be changed without warning.

> Here is an extension of groff that permits to view UTF-8 encoded man pages. > It installs a new command "groff-utf8", which has the same command line > options as groff. The supported output devices are "utf8" (denoting a tty > device in UTF-8 encoding, such as xterm, rxvt, or gnome-terminal) and "html". Allows one to view UTF-8 man pages on a UTF-8 machine, without hacks like getting groff to pass through UTF-8 byte sequences by telling it it's latin1. In /etc/man.conf: NROFF /usr/bin/groff-utf8 -c -mandoc -Tutf8
