[Groff] Grohtml patch, bugs

[Larry Kollar]

The patch to html-table.cpp below replaces the "paragraph wrapped 
around the table" scheme to add spacing with a STYLE attribute. This 
isn't completely the Right Way to do it, which would be a CLASS 
attribute controlled by a styleshee, but I think it's an improvement.

Gaius, if you have the time/opportunity, could you download the tarball 
at http://home.alltel.net/kollar/effman.tar.gz and have a look at a 
couple of things?

  - fixhtml.sed cleans up some spacing issues that shouldn't need
    cleaning up. :-)

  - Author info is wrapped in an "INDENTATION" table so the
    author string is just right of center. I looked at s.tmac but I'm not sure
    what's causing it.

  - Macros creating the <dl> list are getting wrapped in paragraph tags.
    Is there any way to make that not happen?

  - Finally, footnote markers are getting wrapped like this:
    <small><small>1</small></small> instead of <sup>1</sup>

Lest I sound like I'm complaining overly much, I have to say I'm 
surprised at how well the HTML output works with a little one-time 
effort up front. It certainly looks better than the product of most 
graphical HTML editors.

Oh yeah, the patch (extract from cvs diff -u)...
