See below.

Documented on FreeBSD as:

  .IMPSRC   The name/path of the source from which the target is to
            be transformed (the ``implied'' source); also known as
            `<'.

I wonder if $< is even correct here, since the implied sources are both
xmlroff.xml and ../libfo-compat.xsl. Need to recheck my make-fu though.

If so, just putting xmlroff.xml there ought to be enough.

Well, normally when gmake is required it tends to die spectacularly on the
first or second compile line after issuing make. ;)

Actually it is not, I see. It created an empty xmlroff.fo, thus satisfying
make's 'does it exist' policy.
