Shouldn't do.  As I understand it, the sgml stuff spits out troff code and 
uses groff to format it to produce the ascii and .ps docs, while it does 
the html directly.  It shouldn't matter where groff went, as long as it 
came before the sgml stuff was actually used to format docs in the 
src/share tree.  The people coming from 2.1R or 2.1.5R would be the ones 
who could tell us. :-)

And incidently, putting groff into the build-tools target fixes that 
!*&#^!(# /usr/share/dict/eign problem once and for all.. :-)
