Hi Ingo,

I'm surprised groff's autoconf Makefile.in doesn't have a `distcheck'
target or similar that carries out the actions of automake:
https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/Checking-the-Distribution.html
Even with an empty `check' target, as groff has, it's still useful to
check the instructure around groff and could be done by developers prior
to check-in.

Cheers, Ralph.
