Recall that this version of troff is not gnu-win32 and will not understand
gnu-win32 style mounts.  From the above mount output, I conclude that your
share/groff directory is under d:\cygnus\H-i386-cygwin32.  If I'm correct,
then change the definition of GROFF_FONT_PATH and GROFF_TMAC_PATH in man
to:

    export GROFF_FONT_PATH=/cygnus/H-i386-cygwin32/share/groff/font 
    export GROFF_TMAC_PATH=/cygnus/H-i386-cygwin32/share/groff/tmac 

If I'm not, then change the above as appropriate but use Windows style
directories (with forward slashes) and not gnu-win32 style mount directories.
