	Uncompressed, they run about 2.2MB.  The easy way to build a
BBC that has them is to just remove the bit that prunes them.  That's
either in meta/singularity or one of the .mk files (I forget why we
put the global pruning stuff in there, but some of it is).  You would
then need to build a 'man' command, but you could concievably just do
"groff -t -man /man/man1/foo.1 | less" etc.
