Not that I know of, because all the major Unices have different weird
manual hierarchy arrangements which require special support, and some
don't even use *roff any more. man-db's NEWS file claimed support for
Linux, SunOS/Solaris, Ultrix, OSF/1, HP-UX, AIX, and IRIX in 1995, but
nobody has actively tested these recently to my knowledge. Test reports
are very welcome.
