trouble with groff -M

[Bernd Warken]

When compiling the current groff I get the following error - but
only when groffer was uninstalled before the compilation.

make[2]: Entering directory `/src/groff/contrib/mom'
test -d examples || /src/groff/mkinstalldirs examples
test -f penguin.ps || cp /src/groff/contrib/mom/examples/penguin.ps .
GROFF_BIN_PATH=`echo /src/groff/roff/groff /src/groff/roff/troff \
/src/groff/devices/grops | sed -e 's| \+|:|g'`; export GROFF_BIN_PATH; \
/src/groff/src/roff/groff/groff -F/src/groff/font \
-M/src/groff/contrib/mom -Tps -mom examples/macros.mom \
>examples/macros.ps
troff: fatal error: can't find macro file om

make[2]: Leaving directory `/src/groff/contrib/mom'
make[1]: *** [contrib/mom] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/src/groff'
make: *** [all] Error 2

(The escaped line breaks were added by me).

As both `om.tmac' and `mom.tmac' are available at the directory that
is specified with `-M' this seems to hint to a problem with the `-M'
option within groff.

PS: I cannot hunt the bugs myself because I'm involved in groffer-0.8,
which will have an option parser of its own (instead of getopt*) and
new modes --ps, --dvi, --www with automatic display in suitable viewer
programs.  I'd like to get this done before the release; so I'm short
in time.
