That's not the case.  It is constructed during _make_ by a Perl script called
"BuildFoundries", which you can find here (_groff_ 1.23.0 version).

https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/groff.git/tree/font/devpdf/util/BuildFoundries.pl?h=1.23.0

As you may guess from the file name, the script that actually runs is _also_
constructed during _make_.

https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/groff.git/tree/font/devpdf/devpdf.am?h=1.23.0#n68

> so all that is needed is to add the paths to that file.

Not the case, and we've had bugs crop up before when we failed to keep
"groff.m4" and "BuildFoundries.pl" in sync.
