Suppose you have a file meintro.me with the `me' macro package
and pic.ms with the `ms' macro package. It is not possible to use
both files at the same time for `groff'. Providing the double option
`-me -ms' will not work as well.
But `grog meintro.me pic.ms' produces `groff -pte -me meintro.me pic.ms',
which is wrong because the `-me' is not right.
To fix this there are several methods in the case of several macro packages:
1) `grog' shall always produce right output in any case. So it should
write several `-m' options. The user has the task to handle this output.
2) `grog' exits with an error, but no error message is written.
3) `grog' exits with an error, and an error message is written.
In each case, I can provide a patch. Please tell me which method you prefer.
