Having said that, I've subsequently realised that I omitted to test `pdfroff' 
on Cygwin.  I've since done just that, and uncovered a problem with running 
in the `ash' shell, (which Cygwin uses, rather than `bash', in place of `sh').

Here's a patch:

    Handle parsing anomalies in Cygwin's `ash', and similar, shells.

    * pdfroff.sh: ($CAT, $GREP, $SED, $GROFF, $DIFF): avoid interpreting 
      misdirected error messages, which `type' sends to `stdout' in some 
      shells, as a successful program file match.
      ($AWK, $GS): likewise; also ensure that multiple choice match 
      prototypes are eval'ed as such, in case token splitting occurs before 
      variable expansion.

Best regards,
Keith.
