<p>Regarding groff/troff, there exist the <a
href="http://heirloom.sourceforge.net/doctools.html">OpenSolaris
versions</a> at SourceForge which at least do not come with a viral license
like the current GNU versions we use. Additionally this implementation has
support for common vector fonts and unicode. If those utilities are
option-compatible or not has to be analyzed. A port of this is already
available as textproc/heirloom-doctools.
