The way I handle preprocessors and other options, is, to put them into a
(pseudo-) comment
in the first line of a document, like e.g.:
.\" tbl eqn lnd
This line is interpreted by my groff shell script and I can never forget to run
the required
preprocessors and to set the appropriate optoins (landscape in the example).
