[bug #62938] [grops] search multiple "download" files as gropdf does

[G. Branden Robinson]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #62938 (project groff):

Hi Dave,

[comment #1 comment #1:]
> This bug lists bug #62950 as a dependency, but that bug seems to have
consensus on _how_ gropdf should work, and it seems like this bug depends on
that design decision rather than on a fix for it.

I'm confused.  Is there a "not" missing from the foregoing?

My intention with this ticket was simply to, once consensus on how gropdf
should work was reached, to duplicate the logic in grops as far as that makes
sense.

In principle, these could be grouped together as one ticket, or grops
revisions could be undertaken first.

But (A) there are separate Savannah categories for the two output drivers, (B)
the two implementations are not _technologically_ coupled--we could ship a
revised gropdf and and unrevised grops in groff 1.23, for example, and (C) I
expect it to be easier to prototype the revised behavior in gropdf.

Am I making any sense?  😅
