Attached. One of the reasons for this destructive approach is that Greg
Schafer doesn't accept anything into DIY that he doesn't fully understand,
and I want manual pages and error messages to be readable in DIY by default,
too. Obviously, complete removal of support for translated manual pages by
this patch makes groff-utf8 unneeded. "+lang none" is still needed.
