Also, if anyone knows where there is source for a working
Linux deroff(1), would very much appreciate the pointer.
So far I found the OpenBSD one, but it seems to rely on
a lot of preprocessor macros that Linux doesn't have.

Finally, one last look on Google, and I found a version
of deroff for Debian... but it seems to be dated 1996, and doesn't
grok -mom macros. (It is, however, written in lex, which
might be an opportunity for me to learn that lingo and
fix it...)
Never used it, but GNU roff mentions in one of its files (MORE.STUFF) a
deroff by Michael Haardt at
http://www.moria.de/~michael/deroff/ (Timestamps are from 2003 and 2004?)
Besides one for Debian by David Frey (which, I suppose, is the one you
found?)
Does the moria.de one support any of these "mom" macros?
