Details:
tmac/doc.tmac-u says the following:
64 .\" Load start-up files
65 .ie t \
66 . mso mdoc/doc-ditroff
67 .el \
68 . mso mdoc/doc-nroff
69 .
70 .mso mdoc/doc-common
71 .mso mdoc/doc-syms
...but these references don't resolve even after the tree is built. They only
work after installation somewhere else. Even test-groff(.in), which sets
GROFF_TMAC_PATH, is no help because these msos demand a directory called
mdoc.
A workaround would be for the build process to make a symlink in tmac called
mdoc which points back to ".", and have the clean rule get rid of that
symlink.
Any better ideas?
If not, I'll see if I can figure out how to persuade Automake to do what I
want.
