Hi,

This use of DESTDIR, modifying the internal paths used in groffer,
causes it not to work: I build then run `make DESTDIR=/tmp/g install`,
for example, so that I can externally document what files are installed
by groff, and then install the project to /usr/bin, /usr/lib, etc.
DESTDIR is conventionally used in this way as a temporary directory, not
considered to be the final location of files to be installed.
However, after this, my /usr/bin/groffer file looks on line 136 for
/tmp/g/usr/lib/groff/groffer, which does not exist, but
/usr/lib/groff/groffer does. So, groffer exits early.
Could this issue be fixed? (Simply remove $(DESTDIR) from the above lines.)
Many thanks,
