groff-1.18: two build bugs

[Michael Deutschmann]

I have encountered two problems attempting to compile groff-1.18:

First, if I compile using seperate source and build directories (VPATH),
I get one type of build failure.  Last lines of output (long ones
truncated):

make[2]: Entering directory `/var/.home/michael/build/groff-build/contrib/mom'

If I build in the source directory, I get a different problem:

make[2]: Entering directory `/var/.home/michael/build/groff-1.18/doc'
GROFF_BIN_PATH=`echo /home/michael/build/groff-1.18/src/roff/groff /home/micha

make: *** [all] Error 2

I could presumably suppress this latter problem by installing the three
programs the makefile is trying to use.  However, the GNU Coding Standards
do not list `xpmtoppm', `pnmdepth', or `pnmtops' as utilities GNU
makefiles are permitted to use -- hence the fact the build breaks without
them constitutes a bug.
