No, not just nroff... More like config, make, the make templates, a whole
bunch of C libraries, install, nroff, swapctl (running out of memory due
to swapping), and maybe a couple others I'm forgeting.  Not to mention
contending with kernel panics, and tricky obstacles in various stages of
my week-long make process.   The nroff gunk was easy once Bertram
explained fixing it by compiling it unoptimized.

Now that I've got a pretty clean 1.2G system, I believe rebuilding 1.2G
should go fairly smoothly.  I also want to recompile all the sources
because I fear in my late-night bleary eyed attempts to dodge make
failures, I may have commented out something important which subsequently
didn't get built. :-) 

Feel free to compile it all yourself, but you've been warned!
