for those who don't want to run it through groff.  As an aside, this
didn't work (firefox couldn't display it):

groff -ms -Tpdf porting-berkeley.ms > porting-berkeley.pdf

but this did:

groff -ms porting-berkeley.ms > PS
ps2pdf PS porting-berkeley.pdf

I'll ask the groff people if they know what is up.
