src/utils/pfbtops/pfbtops.am: Drop a macro defn.
* src/utils/pfbtops/pfbtops.am (nodist_EXTRA_pfbtops_SOURCES): Drop
"trick" macro definition 'to force the use of C++ compiler[.] See the
Automake manual, "Libtool Convenience Libraries"'. However, groff
doesn't use Libtool. The nonexistent dummy file declared here impedes
the use of Automake's "tags" target. After this change, "pfbtops"'s
linkage is unchanged per ldd(1), the smoke test still passes, and the
program appears to still operate fine on the file "build/font/devpdf/\
symbolsl.pfb"...on amd64 GNU/Linux with a GNU toolchain.
