Details:
Per discussion on the mailing list, it is worth researching the semantics of
GW in V7 Unix troff and using that register name instead of the GNU extension
MINGW for the same purpose.
MINGW can be retained as an alias of GW to avoid breaking documents written in
the expectation that they'd be formatted with GNU ms.
