I'm a bit hesitant to suggest that this should happen automatically. The output produced by different versions of groff seems to be different in many details, so we'd wind up with huge CVS churn anytime somebody runs a build on a different machine. (Although it's fair to ask whether these derived files ought to be in CVS at all. Maybe the right answer is for them to be built while producing a release?)

Good point. However, the libtiff web site is automatically periodially updated based on the content of the files in CVS. Also, not all consumers of CVS have groff handy and they might prefer to read HTML files (e.g. under Windows).
