Indeed, it could. I developed it initially for the mingwPORT, because it was appropriate in that context. The mingwPORT patch file would probably need minimal rework, to integrate it directly into the groff sources. My primary motivation, in posting this, was to gauge the level of interest in doing that. There is, actually, another issue which is addressed in the mingwPORT scripts I've provided -- that of cross-compiling. Groff's build system does not readily accommodate a one shot cross build, because a part native, part cross build is necessary. The `mingwPORT.beforeconfigure' script illustrates the required procedure to set up the native mode pre-build.
