Not that this helps you a lot but "troff -t" is old-style troff.
The AIX V3.1 troff is actually ditroff.  This basically means that
you need a different set of tools.

The upside is that ditroff was designed to have a backend and isn't
as kludgey as old-style troff was.  It even has descent documentation.
