[Groff] troff source code

Caldera has released (under a Berkeley-style license) the source code
for a variety of old Unices. This includes the sources for troff and
friends. They can be found at

http://www.tuhs.org/Archive/PDP-11/Distributions/research/

which gives Version 3 through Version 7, and

http://www.tuhs.org/Archive/PDP-11/Distributions/usdl/

which gives 32V. The details of the Caldera's license are in the PDF
file

These might be good way to investigate the "how did the original troff do
it?" questions that occasionally arise. (Then again, maybe
not--ditroff was a relative latecomer. Does anyone have a C/A/T
phototypesetter?) At any rate, I think it's worth inclusion in the
source code page of troff.org.
