[bug #63768] want configurable URL format for man page hyperlinks

[John Gardner]

Follow-up Comment #9, bug #63768 (project groff):

I still would've preferred a simpler and more supple solution, such as


.ds1 man-scheme-format man:\\$1(\\$2)\"
.ds1 man-scheme-format x-man-page://\\$2/\\$1\"

\*[man-scheme-format printf 3]


... with the default value varying depending on whether Groff was built on
macOS or some other system (defined at compile time). This approach would
treat `man-scheme-format` as a SSOT, shared by man(7), mdoc(7), and any other
package that groks hyperlinked man-page references…

Ah well.
