I forgot to address this bit in my last e-mail..

See, you happen to need to access documentation that's stored in man
page format. Others are in a situation where the packages they use store
their documentation in html format. Without an html interpreter they're
screwed. In this context, groff and w3m are exactly the same, so if we
remove one, why not the other?
