Hi Branden,

Unofficial patch attached.
Do you like the patch?
"Like" is a strong word. It makes the page less weird. I'll stand by
it, if that's what you mean.
Should I apply it, or is it just a draft?
Go right ahead. The real work is in auditing that table line by line.
Would you mind sending a patch that I can apply with git? I could manually edit
the file you attached, but I'm feeling lazy for that :\
I saw reference to some compression program called "yabba" and I
thought, "what the Hutt?"
:)
I have a patch for an extension that wasn't covered by this file. I'm guessing
pkg-config wasn't invented when this page was written? That's really old... It
seems the page goes back to man-pages 1.0 (with some additions later; mostly in
1.21).
Cheers,
Alex
Regards,
Branden

For fun I thought I'd see what the diffstat between 1.22.4 and master
looked like, and filtered out files with fewer than 1,000 lines of diff.

I hope people will take me seriously when I suggest that groff's
documentation has undergone revision.
Wow!
