in repository groff.

commit e0e70c4bc3c4b9d548c02f7313d55be4ed16318f
Author: G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robin...@gmail.com>
AuthorDate: Wed Jul 9 03:40:26 2025 -0500

    doc/doc.am: Loosen "install" dependencies.
    
    * doc/doc.am: Rationalize Texinfo document installation targets.
      (install-txt-local)
      (install-info-local)
      (install-dvi-local)
      (install-pdf-local)
      (install-html-local): Name as prerequisites (only) the macros
      conditionally populated when `HAVE_MAKEINFO` and `USE_TEX` are
      defined.  Thus we (re)build each document only if we can actually do
      so.  If not, the user gets the "stock" version from distribution
      archive.
