mmroff is a perl script that is installed along with groff.

I'm not sure if cygwin setup is supposed to detect dependencies, but
it doesn't realize that perl is required.

After installing perl, the path to the perl interpreter is incorrect
in the mmroff script.

I'm also not sure if this is the responsibility of cygwin or groff
but the mmroff script tries to find perl in /usr/local/bin instead of
/usr/bin.
