commit 62a5f6b87ccc69ba5c6df32b087f58eaa131d55f
Author: G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

    [mm]: Stop installing empty macro files.

    * contrib/mm/mm.am: Delete variable `MMLOCALE`.
      (install_mm): Delete `for` loop that touches the files.
      (uninstall_mm): Delete `for` loop that deletes the files.

    * contrib/mm/m.tmac: Update initializtion.
      - Load the `\*[@country]_locale` file with `msoquiet` instead of
        `mso`.
      - Add version check to require groff 1.23 or later, since the
        `msoquiet` request is now being used.
      - Move "include guard" to follow the compatibility mode and groff
        version checks.  Remove its `do` prefix.

    * contrib/mm/groff_mm.7.man (Localization): Migrate topic into its own
      subsection and update discussion.

    Fixes <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?60700>.

Alternatively, we can load them with .msoquiet and not ship them at all.

Our contrived creation of these files as zero-length as part of the "install" Make target means that they don't exist in build directories, which leads to diagnostics when testing mm thence.


troff: .../../contrib/mm/m.tmac:365: warning: can't open macro file 'mm/locale': No such file or directory


It would be nice not only to resolve this problem, but to have real files we distribute, perhaps with comments advising mm users of what sorts of things they might put there.

I'm open to suggestions for content.
