4)	Like it or not most people using 3B2s probably WON'T need the C
	compiler (but probably unfortunately WILL need NROFF/DITROFF which
	aren't included).

If AT&T switches to the Berkeley flavored man, with everything pre-formated,
then they won't even need nroff/ditroff. Of course, not giving you man at
all would have the same effect.

I've got nroff/troff, and I can't get people to use it. They want a WYSIWYG
(what you see is what you get) word processor. Ever tried to find a wp
with the power of troff?
