I've created a tap for everything Troff and man-page related. Heirloom Troff can now be easily installed using:

$ brew tap alhadis/troff
$ brew install heirloom-doctools

Credit for this goes to @barreyra, who attempted some time ago to submit Heirloom Doctools to Homebrew's main package repository.

Also a heads up that it'd be great if another release were cut, then we could get rid of the ugly patch embedded inside the package code. 👍 The fix it applies was already merged long ago, but the mechanics of Homebrew's implementation work best with tagged releases. =)

Cool, thanks for reviving that old patch of mine! 👍

Builds and works like a charm!

I should add options to build with/without conflicting executables (e.g., eqn, tbl), just in case users want to install multiple troffs in tandem. Otherwise, great work! 😀
