>Description:

	try to run "pre-grohtml", or "groff -Thtml" and find that it
	just complains loudly:

		pre-grohtml:fatal error: devhtml/DESC must set the image_generator field, exiting

	Groff itself doesn't actually fail with a fatal exit code, but
	with the pre-grohtml preprocessor dead, all input is swallowed
	and no output is generated.

>How-To-Repeat:

	pre-grohtml
	groff -Thtml

>Fix:

	this is a bit of a hack, but it seems to work OK

	the choice of "gs" is based on the default suggested for
	unix-like platforms -- it'll work as expected once one of the
	Ghostscript modules from pkgsrc is installed, but without it
	doesn't cause any immediate harm

	there's also a rule entry that doesn't start with a tab....
