There should be an environment variable that enables the compatiblity
mode for all groff related programs; call it $GROFF_COMPAT,
$GROFF_COMPATIBILTY, $GROFF_COMPAT_MODE, or the like. If this
variable is set the option -C is passed to all groff programs that
have this feature.
An important application is the formatting of the classical
documentation using the original shell scripts.
