Use the following commands to completely replace the installed groff in 
OSX:

        ./configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man CXX=g++2
        make
        sudo make install

The "CXX=g++2" part is necessary at least on OSX 10.2.x, and may be 
necessary in 10.3 and later. Omitting it results in runtime formatting 
errors, due to a bug in the gcc3 compiler.

Some OSX security updates replace groff, so it's a good idea to keep it 
around to re-install after a routine system update.
