Great! BTW, I've incorporated `patch-tmac_doc-syms' and
`patch-src_roff_troff_input_cpp'.

This patch I don't understand, inspite of reading the comment. Can
you please explain what's bad about INSTALL_DATA and INSTALL_SCRIPT?

If you find a better patch to remove the dependency on bash I'm glad
to incorporate it.
BTW, I'm not happy about your patch in `patch-src_roff_troff_env_cpp'.
Such code doesn't belong into the binary but rather in GNU troff's
start-up file, `troffrc'. Otherwise I fear I get bug reports why GNU
troff behaves differently on OpenBSD... Please fix this.
