After further checking your changes to groff_out.man I've found out
that they completely break -Tps. Reason: This file uses $...$ inline
equations within macros, and this only works if those macros are
defined within .eo/.ec blocks.
Sigh.
I won't change the file right now.
It seems that we have to do something like this:
.if n \{\
. de foo
. ...
..
.\}
.el \{\
. eo
. de foo
. ... use $...$ ...
..
. ec
.\}
(Currently, the distinction between nroff and troff is made within the
macros itself.)
Since eqn generally produces bad results with nroff such an approach
might be the right one regardless of `lifting'.
