Duplicate of bug #60613.

As we age, the first three things to go are:
1. short-term memory
2. long-term memory
3. short-term memory.

Reported (and support already written) by Deri James.

Split off from bug #60604.


In commit f61c6ca5b84b488cbd324f2d23285fff1d807f04 a facility to do a dry run search was added to BuildFoundries.pl, which could be used. See bug #56748.


Relatedly:

  • See if this means we no longer need to document Ghostscript as a prerequisite for PDF output (if we use gs outside of the HTML driver only to locate the URW fonts in the configure script, then this will be true).
  • See if this means we can drop our dependency on awk, simplifying some m4sh and autoconf shenanigans.
