*sigh*

Ok, I'll raise this one again:

 The base system should not attempt to install into /usr/X11R6, correct?
 This has been further accented by the recent removal of the X-based games
 from the base system.

 I propose that having xditview in src/gnu/usr.bin/groff is a Bad Thing.
 For one, anyone like me that mounts /usr/X11R6 readonly (as is only 
 sensible) has the wondrous experience of having world barf on them 
 at the wrong end.

At the very least, the pile of conditionals at the top of the xditroff
Makefile could check that the directories are writable.  

Honestly, if I was a make-fiend, I would have committed diffs on this ages
ago; as it is, all I can do is whine.

Please?
