Note that it is not necessary to install the above four packages in their

+ Further note that you are advised to avoid the netpbm-10.27 release from the
+ GnuWin32 download repository, as its pnmtopng.exe has been reported to fail
+ on even simple conversions, resulting in failure of the groff build process;
+ the earlier netpbm-10.18.4 has been found to work successfully. Also, you
