[bug #55941] [PATCH] test-nroff: Create this file to accompany "test-groff"

[G. Branden Robinson]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #55941 (project groff):

I have a new appreciation for Bjarni's request now that I've had to actually
write a test for nroff.  :P

Because of the variable runtime environment, influenced by the configuration
parameters, we can't just ship canned tests for it: we have to generate them,
then run them.

I solved this problem in dd725dce808dcff643d33f180ed7ac73e32b0760 but it took
a little bit of effort and thought, mainly due to my lack of familiarity with
automake.

Just a comment.  Future nroff tests can ape my example and we still won't need
a 'test-nroff', but if generating the tests comes to be viewed as ugly or
excessively weighty, it might be wise to reconsider this report.
