Re: [PATCH] lint-man.mk: Use a pipeline instead of the groff(1) wrapper

I'd have a variable set to ‘utf8’ to ease changing to another output
device.

You've ditched passing the filename, instead using standard input.
This prevents the filename being passed through the pipeline which will
presumably result in poorer messages.

    $ tbl /etc/passwd | grep '^\.'
    .if !\n(.g .ab GNU tbl requires GNU troff.
    .if !dTS .ds TS
    .if !dTE .ds TE
 →  .lf 1 /etc/passwd
    $
