I'm not sure our configure script is reporting the right thing when it comes
to building groff on proprietary Unix (in principle, any system with an
existing non-groff troff installation).
prefix used for macro packages : an an.ja an.ja_JP.PCK an.ja_JP.UTF-8 ansun
ansun.ja ansun.ja_JP.PCK ansun.ja_JP.UTF-8 bib m s v vgrind
Cosmetically, I am irritated by the leading space in the list of macro
packages. This arises from the list being constructed in a crude way as a
shell string.
Much more importantly, if I understand the tmac wrapper feature correctly,
this output is _inaccurate_. No prefix is used for these packages. Instead a
"g" prefix is required for "an", "m" and "s" to obtain the groff versions of
these packages.
Investigate this on a Solaris 10 machine.
