gEDA-bug: [Bug 795654] [NEW] Build from git breaks if groff html driver not installed

[Gareth Edwards <795654@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Public bug reported:

When building from sources from git, if I don't have the groff html
driver installed, running configure with the default options gives the
following transcript in config.log:

configure:12599: checking whether groff has an html driver
groff: can't find `DESC' file
groff:fatal error: invalid device `html' (try installing the `groff' package?)
configure:12608: result: no

Then when I run make,  I get:

No working groff available: cannot create gschem.html
make: ***[gschem.html] Error 1

It would be ideal is the build system could detect if the groff html
driver is really required for the build earlier in the process.
