Matthias,

why was this added? ncurses should not depend on groff, it builds
perfectly fine without it. if we need to add a distinction between
requiring nroff(1) and groff(1) then do that first.

aside from the fact it's not needed, this also introduces a dependency
on a c++ package very low down in the dependency tree on most platforms
which is a bad idea.

please make this optional and the default "no".

grant.
