Okay, there is now a check as of r4377 to check for whether groff can generate html output and will not abort ./configure if not. Since the reporter here is None I don't see how to check in with the person who mentioned this.I'll leave this open for awhile to see if anyone is watching that I don't know about.

Debian Etch.
Clean svn checkout (trunk), autogen.sh + configure w/o any problems and then make breaks on groff:

bbb@hole:pts/0(0)~/svn-ext/nano%make
make all-recursive
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/bbb/svn-ext/nano'
Making all in doc
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/bbb/svn-ext/nano/doc'
Making all in man
make[3]: Entering directory `/home/bbb/svn-ext/nano/doc/man'
groff -t -mandoc -Thtml < nano.1 > nano.1.html
groff: can't find `DESC' file
groff:fatal error: invalid device `html'
make[3]: *** [nano.1.html] Error 3
make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/bbb/svn-ext/nano/doc/man'
make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/bbb/svn-ext/nano'
make: *** [all] Error 2
bbb@hole:pts/0(0)~/svn-ext/nano%

I thought this must be checked in 'configure' script?
full stdout is in attached file.
