Great.

Something in manpages/guide made me think otherwise, but I can't find it
now. Dropped that part.

MANGEN_PROG=mandoc works and ignores installed groff.

Yes, Vim is used to generate tags only if perl isn't available.

Git is used to get tag & commit revision if build happens inside of a
repository. If there is no .git directory, presence of git makes no
difference.

Other standard tools (awk, sed, col) are used to process output of
groff/mandoc if they are available.
