Re: An extremely lazy proposal

[Dave Kemper]

I don't have any complaint with your proposal, but it sounds like what
you need is a makefile or script to insure groff runs are done the
same way every time.  More simplistically, you can define a shell
alias to invoke all preprocessors: "alias groff='groff -k -e -p -t
-R'".  (Or name the alias something like "allgroff" if you want to
easily be able to run the nonaliased groff sometimes.)

A switch to run all preprocessors still won't catch other necessary
command-line options, like macro packages.
