It seems to work quite well with several man pages that came with
gnuwin32/b18. I've spliced in the C-h keymap as
(global-set-key [(control h) ?u] 'woman)
Up to now, I had no tool to read these man pages. This seems odd
though, cygnus provides all these pages but no means to read
them. I guess somebody will point me to the man page viewer I didn't
know of.
Anyhow, I'm glad to be able to read these pages now. I must confess
that I do not know enough of the input format to be able to define
whether we're dealing with "... idiosyncratic files that `break the
rules' or use ?roff requests directly... " rather than a problem with
woman.el
