Didn't groff used to *always* install links to the groff verions of
the "standard" macros (ms, me, mm) with a "g" prefix?  (-mm was
available as -mgm) Didn't it recently change to *not* installing these
prefixed versions *unless* the system already included other versions
of those macros?

When using groff-macro-specific features it was useful to know that
you could always get groff's mm if you did -mgm.
