FWIW, I've posted a release of groff-1.19.2-mingwPORT-1 here: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/groff-1.19.2-mingwPORT-1.tar.bz2?download
For those unfamiliar with the mingwPORT concept, it is a scripting framework originally created by Earnie Boyd, and designed to guide less sophisticated users through the download, configuration, make and installation phases of a typical GNU package install. While being primarily intended to facilitate the installation of such packages on Win32 systems, and more specifically those running MinGW/MSYS, it does have some features which may be more generally useful. In particular, for groff-1.19.2-mingwPORT-1, I've configured the following:-- * Automated source download from http://ftp.gnu.org * Automated patching of the source tree, to add a `bindist' make target, so facilitating the creation of redistributable pre-built binary packages; (the necessary patches are in the included `mingwPORT.patch' file). * Interactive configuration, allowing the user to select which components to install, and where to install them. * Segregation of runtime and documentation components into two pre-built redistributable tarballs, together with a rebundled source tarball, to incorporate the patches from `mingwPORT.patch'. Earnie has designated the mingwPORT framework as public domain, so if anyone is interested in adapting the concept for other platforms, please feel free to do so.
