[Groff] [mom][patch] multipage boxed tables

[Robin Haberkorn]

Dear groffers,

I ported the ms package's tbl macros, specifically the multipage boxed
table support, to Mom.
It appears to work fine so far, but I'm neither a groff nor a -ms guru yet.
There are possibly some bugs that could be easily avoided by someone
who is more familiar with the ms macros.
That's why I'm writing you this - instead of mailing it to Peter directly.

For instance, why does the address@hidden macro change the
environment before printing the diversion? Shouldn't be everything
already be formatted in an environment-independent way when the
diversion is created? Or do I have to expect transparent throughputs
(\! and the like) generated by tbl? What exactly is in a diversion -
after all it's not a macro?
Also have a look at the other comments I added.

See attached patch. It's diffed against CVS HEAD.

Best regards,
Robin
