IIRC, 1.19.2 installs a `pdfroff' command, and associated macros in
`pdfmark.tmac', which provide pretty much all that Kees Zeelenberg's
original package did, and more.  There's also an `spdf.tmac', which
defines rudimentary bindings for the `ms' macros.

You might like to try these, as an alternative.  `man pdfroff' should
get you started, and there's also an [unfinished] handbook describing
the use of the `pdfmark' macros, (it's called `pdfmark.pdf'), which
should be installed in `${prefix}/share/doc/groff/1.19.2/pdf'.

There have been some recent enhancements, and perhaps a few bug fixes,
since 1.19.2; you might like to grab them from the CVS.

HTH,
Keith.
