incorrect manpages in groff-1.22.2_1

[creiderc .]

Correction and apologies for a mistaken post.  I was using -m instead of -M
and got the old manpages.  It wasn't until I copied
/usr/local/man/man1/groff.1.gz to my home directory, gunzipped it and
looked at it that I realized my mistake.  The manpage installed with pkg
_is_ the correct one and the correct command to get it is:
    "man -M /usr/local/man groff"  (or one can set this directory ahead of
/usr/share/man on MANPATH)
