Man-1.4h (from the Linux distribution) configures and compiles under
B17.5 without change except for deletion in man.c of
setlocale(LC_MESSAGES, "");

You will need less and groff. Roll your own under gnu-win32 or download
VCC versions from:

	http://www.itribe.net/virtunix/

If you want to automatically generate preformatted and compressed man
pages you also need a good version of gzip:

	http://sunsite.doc.ac.uk/packages/zip/WIN32/

I'm afraid the gnu-win32 (B17.5) version of gunzip gives unpacking
problems for me. 

Good luck,
