man packages:
ftp://ftp.franken.de/pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin/mirrors/cygnus/cygwin
-b20/fullman.tar.bz2
pasted from a mail from Michael Hirmke some days ago:
------------------------< snip snip snip >-----------------------------
 *man-1.5f*
 --------
 - what is it?
 - Program for displaying man-pages on the screen or sending them
 to a printer (using groff). Includes whatis, apropos and man2html,
 which compiles but wasn't tried.
 - To install the binaries
 - go to ftp://ftp.franken.de , get and untar in /
 /pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin/porters/Humblet_Pierre_A/B20
 man-1.5f-cygwin-b20-bin.tar.gz
 - You must also get and untar in /
 /pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin/porters/Hirmke_Michael/B20
 groff-1.10-cygwin-b20-bin.tar.gz
 - Edit /usr/local/lib/man.conf [** used to be man.config **]
 to suit your site.
 If man gives you funny looking hyphens, replace the NROFF line with
 NROFF /usr/local/bin/nroff -mandoc (!!it's nroff, not groff)
 - Execute "man -w" to examine the effective MANPATH. Duplicates
 (with different cases) may appear. They can be avoided by
 editing man.conf and/or PATH and/or MANPATH.
 - Execute ./makewhatis -w in /usr/local/sbin to build the
 whatis database for apropos and whatis.
 What follows is information to recompile the entire package or complete
 the man2html tool suite.
 - system
 - Windows 95
 - Cygwin
 - for B20
 - binary mounts only
 - CYGWIN=tty
 - preliminaries
 - get the source packages
 - man-1.5f.tar.gz from ftp://ftp.win.tue.nl/pub/linux/util/man/
 - edit src/makewhatis.sh
 - on line 30 change PATH=/usr/bin:/bin to /bin:/usr/local/bin
 146, change /usr/bin/gawk to /bin/gawk (or whatever)
 - edit src/defs.h
 - add #include <unistd.h>
 - edit man2html/Makefile.in
 - on line 9 change /usr/bin to /usr/local/bin (or whatever)
 - configure
 - edit configure on lines 508 & 511
 - change "prefix=/usr" to "prefix=/usr/local" (or whatever)
 - run CC="gcc -DNONLS -DLC_MESSAGES=6" ./configure -d +traditional
 (thanks to David Coe)
 - make
 - works without changes
 - make install
 - works without changes
 - package availability
 - on ftp.franken.de
 - in /pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin/porters/Humblet_Pierre_A/B20
 - as man-1.5f-cygwin-b20-bin.tar.gz
