Ok.  I will write 2 different shell scripts, groffer-gnu.sh and
groffer-posix.sh.  The testing functions will go to the Makefile;
"make" will decide which of the 2 shell scripts will be installed
as "groffer".  This will straighten and speed-up the code.

Does anybody know whether there is something like autoconfigure
for shell scripts?
