>Description:

Groff calls external programs not installed in the base system nor as tools
when creating *.png files for csh:

 Module Name:	src
 Committed By:	dholland
 Date:		Sun Jul  6 18:22:03 UTC 2014

 Modified Files:
 	src/distrib/sets/lists/games: mi
 	src/distrib/sets/lists/misc: mi
 	src/share/mk: bsd.README bsd.doc.mk bsd.own.mk

 Log Message:
 Add MKGROFFHTMLDOC and make it default to no. It seems that sometimes
 when generating html groff runs netpbm behind your back. Needless to
 say we don't have netpbm in base, so this fails on a clean install; so
 for now disable generating html for /usr/share/doc by default.
 Workaround for PR 48970.

 It seems that all available document preparation toolchains are made
 of fail.
