Folks,
before switching `officially' to the new automake branch, I suggest
that we do another groff release, based on the current `master'
branch. I hope I will have some time in September for doing that.

Hi Bertrand,
here is another thing that got broken: the decisions whether or not
to build and install HTML and PDF documentation and examples and
some other stuff.
The problem is that when $make_htmldoc (etc.) is empty,
the test utility is called with one argument (-n) instead of
with two argumen

Hi Bertrand,
here is one other small bug in the automake branch.
With the old build system, "make dist" puts the file
"groff-1.22.2/doc/gnu.eps" into the tarball. When running "make
dist" from the automake branch, that file is missing from the
tarball.
Consequently, even if you have run "./conf

1. configure warned me of a bunch of programs missing: `pnmcut', `pnmcrop',
