If you run into a port with a USE_GROFF, think twice before removing it!

If you remove it, then you depend on mandoc doing the right thing in
replacing groff. Which means showing a correct result for now, *and for later*.

There are constructs mandoc does not handle. There are constructs mandoc
somewhat ignores, silently by default.

Before removing USE_GROFF, you definitely should try out mandoc -Wall
*and read the errors and warnings*. When in doubt, check with Ingo. But
if the result is not squeaky clean, there is a chance  a future update of
mandoc *will break the page*. Hence the USE_GROFF...
