I've updated http://xmlroff.org/building.html to include the names of
the RPMs you'd need to install for the libraries that have RPMs.

Considering that's in Appendix B, it would take you a while to find it
if you're reading from front to back.

I have updated http://xmlroff.org/conformance.html and
http://xmlroff.org/implementation-sequence.html to add back the
colours that they used to have a while ago.  That should make it
easier to sort out what is and isn't supported.
